Church Is A Gas Station - The Fuel But NOT The Destination

Church Is A Gas Station - The Fuel But NOT The Destination

God is bringing the Church back to its original mission and assignment - to reach the world by the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Sermon Notes:
Mat. 9:36-38

Jesus is the head of the house, the Holy Spirit is the Lord of the harvest. =
JESUS is the head of the Church (Ephesians 5:23)

THE HOLY SPIRIT is the Lord of the harvest (John 15:26; 16:8, 14; Acts 1:8)

It’s about the HARVEST, not just the HANG OUT!
It’s about the FIELDS, not just the FELLOWSHIP!

The Holy Spirit sends laborers into the harvest field

*Send - to cast out, drive out, to send out with a notion of violence, to drive out (cast out) to cast out of the world, to expel a person from a society: to banish...

Believers get demons out of people, the Holy Spirit gets believers out of the house.

The Lord of the Harvest provides:
Tools (Acts 1:8)
Food (John 4:34)
Rewards (Proverbs 11:30; 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20)

2. We are not a house with a backyard, we are house with a harvest.

Backyard mentality is having an outreach program with an outlook problem.

John 4:35

Harvest is bigger than the house.
Father’s field doesn’t end where my comfort ends.

Property line of Father’s field is “whoever” (John 3:16), “desires for all men to be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4), “not willing for any should perish, desiring that all to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

The harvest is more urgent than the house.

Joel 1:11

House is cleaner because of the harvest.
Reaping the harvest is more important than cleaning the house.

Unity will be the result of mission. Mission will never be the result of unity.

3. The harvest is the reward of Jesus’ sufferings.

To reap the harvest is to suffer or benefit as a result of past actions; to experience the consequences of some previous action or past event.

He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. Isaiah 53:11

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. Psalm 2:8

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, Revelation 5:9

“MAY THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN RECEIVE THE REWARD OF HIS SUFFERING.”

Lessons from Moravian Movement:
1. Missions begin and end in prayer.
2. Missions is a lifestyle not a trip.
3. Missions is about Jesus.

Your salvation is Jesus’ reward.
Jesus is ready.
You are ripe.
