Core Values Part II: Evangelism

Mar 23, 2025    Pastor Reid McAteer

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace evangelism as the core focus of our Christian walk. The main scripture, Acts 1:6-8, reveals Jesus' final words to His disciples before ascending to heaven. These words aren't just for the disciples; they're for us today. We're called to be witnesses, not just in our comfort zones, but in our 'Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.' This isn't about geographical locations, but about stepping out of our comfort and control to reach those who need Christ. The message beautifully parallels Jesus leaving His heavenly comfort to save us, encouraging us to do the same for others. It's a call to shift our focus from seeking comfort and control to seeking the lost and the wayward, reminding us that the gospel isn't just for salvation, but for daily encouragement and restoration.
