Sheep Snakes and Doves

This sermon challenges believers to embrace their calling as disciples sent into the world to represent Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew 10 and the Great Commission, the message emphasizes that Christians are strategically placed by God in their everyday environments—workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, and social circles—to be salt and light. The sermon unpacks Jesus' instructions to His first disciples about how to go, emphasizing that being sent out isn't about being offensive or burdensome, but about humbly loving and serving others while living lives of integrity that point people toward God. The core message reminds the church that programs and open buildings are insufficient; individual believers must personally engage with the world around them, building authentic relationships and waiting for God-ordained moments to speak and serve in Jesus' name.
