Faith In Community, Desperate Times Require Desperate Measures Series

I want to close by replaying a song we heard back in the 40 Days of Purpose simulcast. Remember Rick Warren talking about his Dad on his death bed saying over and over again “I’ve got to save one more for Jesus.” Reaching people for Jesus is one of our five fundamental purposes on this earth. It is what we are here for. It was what we were created to do. And if we aren’t doing it, we are in effect saying to people – stuff you, you can spend eternity in hell.

During the playing of this song, I’m going to ask you to respond not to me, but to God’s call on your life to express your faith by reaching out to those in desperate circumstances all around us today. If you feel God has been speaking to you and calling you to reach those around you for him, I want you to slip off your seat and onto your knees as a sign of your submission to his priorities. Don’t make a huge scene, just be on your knees surrendering your life to this almighty task for the next week and for every week there after. If you can’t for some reason kneel, that’s fine, just bow your head – God knows your desire.

We are faced with a desperate situation which requires desperate means. What will you do to bring your friends to the feet of Jesus? Jesus wants to set them free. Will you reach one more for Jesus?
