AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST IBD

Sinopse

What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ? This is the question that John Jamison asks throughout this Lenten season. During this time where we remember JesusâÇÖ final weeks and actions before his death and resurrection, we must ask ourselves how we can live more like Jesus did, and how we are showing GodâÇÖs presence to the world? Jamison uses a unique mix of historical fact and modern examples throughout his sermons to show his congregation the many ways that the disciples had lived in JesusâÇÖ example, and how we can do the same. Although we all have those days where we may not act in a way that is befitting of Jesus, Jamison reminds us that there are no requirements for who can be saved by GodâÇÖs love, for he sent his son to die for all people. So, do what you can today, and do your best to help others using the gifts that God has given you. Remember that nobody is without GodâÇÖs grace, and that you should love others as you are loved by your Father in heaven.'The pastor lay awake with the feeling that tonight, he had seen the church as it was meant to be. He had seen those people doing what he believed Jesus would have done. He had been a pastor for many years, but what he saw tonight amazed him. As he walked into his office and joined that nine oâÇÖ clock meeting, he was exhausted, but he felt like the church, and he, had been reborn.'Sermon titles include:Seventeen sermons based on the Secondálessons from the Revised Common Lectionary (Cycle B) for the seasons of Lent and Easter are included in this single volume.
