Daddy's Daughter On Assignment: Cloverdale Baptist Church

Hello readers. Today we will take a break from my series on 'people that Jesus rose from the dead.' Since I am in Vancouver, I was unable to attend my dad's sermon. Instead I went to my grandparent's church. The sermon was by Pastor Rob Godard.

Overflowing Into the Mission: Show and Tell
(Acts 1:8)

We need to have H.T.M.L.- holiness; truth; mission; love. Today we are looking at being a church on mission with God. When Jesus ascended into Heaven, He told us that He would come back, but in between that time we need to obey Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." We need to be Jesus' witness in the church. We need to share Jesus with other people, too. That is called EVANGELISM. We need to take take 3 steps toward mission with God.

1. Consider the Reality That: Jesus is Alive.
2. Calculate the Truth About Life.
3. Celebrate our witness with power.

What is the 'truth of life'? It is that Christian life is not easy, but it's worth it. When we witness (evangelize), we are not peddling Christianity, we're sharing true joy, love, and and the key happiness to life. Being on mission with God is what we are called to do.

Thank you Cloverdale Baptist Church. Thank you Pastor Rob.
