Church, Come Forth: Witness (Wes Springer)

SummaryThe message centers on the call for the people of the church to “come forth” and live as true witnesses of Jesus. It is the core calling of every believer. A witness testifies in two primary ways:By the way we live — representing Jesus through our character, conduct, and daily choices.By the word of our testimony — actively telling others what Jesus has done.We can step into the Great Commission today! We tell. We pray. The Holy Spirit moves. And God changes lives!TakeawaysBeing a witness is every believer’s callingWhatever your gifts or job, your highest purpose is to reveal Christ.Our attitudes, reactions, work ethic, and love should visibly reflect the nature of Jesus.The early church couldn’t keep quiet because they were transformed.People are hurting, searching, and waiting for believers to demonstrate the true nature and power of Jesus.Chapters00:00 Introduction 03:08 The Church Rising Up05:57 The Calling to Be a Witness09:02 The Great Commission12:07 Living as a Testimony15:00 The Importance of Separation18:00 Bearing Fruit as Disciples20:53 The Urgency of the Gospel23:38 Sharing Personal Testimonies26:58 The Role of the Holy Spirit29:08 Conclusion and Prayer for Commissioning
