We are the World Part 1

"We Are The World"

Pastor Lori Adgate

Psalms 115:16 The heavens belong to our God; they are his alone, but he has given us the earth and put us in charge.

Matthew 11:28-30 28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Mark 16:14-20

14-16 Still later, as the Eleven were eating supper, he appeared and took them to task most severely for their stubborn unbelief, refusing to believe those who had seen him raised up. Then he said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.

17-18 “These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: They will throw out demons in my name, they will speak in new tongues, they will take snakes in their hands, they will drink poison and not be hurt, they will lay hands on the sick and make them well.”

19-20 Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor. And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.]

“And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.”

Jesus’s final words on earth gave us his authority to carry this gospel into the world.

The great commission is not the great suggestion.

Psalms 115:16 but he has given us the earth and put us in charge.

Prime it with thankfulness and praise.

Prime it with sharing your story.

Prime it with generosity.
