Speaker 1: Welcome to Commission Thursday, where we believe every believer is the light, every believer is the salt and every believer is Christ ambassador and every believer is the carrier of the good news.
Speaker 1: Let's turn in the book of Romans, chapter 5, verse 8, a read from the TPT version.
Speaker 1: But Christ's proved God's passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly.
Speaker 1: This calls for a lot of things.
Speaker 1: This portion of scripture reminds us about God's love.
Speaker 1: One of the things that it reminds us it's about our commitment, and God demonstrated his love and committed us to go out and love people the way we should love, the way he loved us.
Speaker 1: God was the first love.
Speaker 1: He demonstrated his love while we were still seen as he brought his only son, jesus Christ, to come and die for us.
Speaker 1: So one of the things that we should really be committed in it's about the love that we take it to the people, having a compassionate heart for the people, because when we look at the scripture, we find a place where these people were harassed and helpless, like ships without a shepherd.
Speaker 1: So God is calling us back to the place of being committed and being compassionate about the lives of people who are there outside.
Speaker 1: Number two God is calling us into the place of collaboration, the place of reaching out and the place of going out to share the gospel.
Speaker 1: It calls for commitment, it calls for compassion and it calls for collaboration, collaboration.
Speaker 1: Here we find that we have to collaborate with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is our driver.
Speaker 1: Let us let the Holy Spirit drive us to the place where we should go out and proclaim the gospel, even as we are in this month of the uplifted kingdom authority.
Speaker 1: Let us take authority in the place where God has placed us in our marketplace, in our business, in our church, in our neighbors, even in the strangers, even to the places where God calls us every single day.
Speaker 1: Let us take authority and let us be kingdom investors.
Speaker 1: Be blessed.
