Missions 26 | See and Pray - Season 5, Episode 86
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Jesse Becker
Why does compassion so rarely translate into action for the lost around us? Pastor Ben examines Jesus' encounter with the multitudes in Matthew 9, showing how Christ's teaching, healing, and deep compassion flowed from seeing people as spiritually destitute—sheep without a shepherd. Drawing on global statistics of unreached peoples and a personal account from a mission trip to Peru, Pastor Ben demonstrates that Jesus did not simply command his disciples to go, but first called them to see the need and pray, since prayer reshapes the heart to match Christ's own burden for the lost. As Eastland Baptist Church enters Missions Month, listeners are challenged to let genuine prayer for the world's spiritual need become the catalyst that moves them from awareness to action.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
