Sermon: Matthew 22:34-40, Matthew 28:16-20, Luke 16:19-31

February 2nd, 2009 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 Comments

I have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog. It is the thurd in my series on themes from Rick Warren’s book

, based on Matthew 22:34-40, Matthew 28:16-20, and Luke 16:19-31, and entitled “A Great Commitment To Ministry”.

Here’s a portion of it:

One of my favorite songs in contemporary Christian music is the song “If We Are The Body” by the group Casting Crowns. It gives various situations where people are in need – but Christians do not reach out to them.

The chorus has the words:

But if we are the body
why aren’t his arms reaching
why aren’t his hands healing
why aren’t his words teaching
if we are the body
why aren’t his feet going
why is his love not showing them there is a way
there is a way

To me, this song voices what Jesus taught – and what Warren writes about a great Church needing a great commitment to ministry
