I Will Not Do That Thing - Season 5, Episode 10
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Benjamin Siens
When we receive grace freely through Christ's sacrifice, what do we owe in return? Pastor Dorrell examines two pivotal moments in David's life—first as a learner from Uriah's faithful refusal to abandon his brothers, and later as a practitioner of that same principle—to argue that Christian gratitude demands personal sacrifice and involvement. The sermon's central thesis is that believers cannot live off the spiritual and financial contributions of others; instead, we must echo Uriah's declaration: "I will not do that thing" which diminishes Christ's name or allows others to carry our weight. Pastor Dorrell challenges listeners to ask themselves honestly: Do you have skin in the game of your local church's mission?Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
