Sept. 13, 2026 - Until the King Returns | Luke 19:11-27, Acts 1:6-11 Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI

The King is coming back—but what are we doing while we wait? In this Mission Sunday message, we are reminded that Jesus has entrusted His followers with important work to accomplish until He returns. Through the Parable of the Minas, Jesus teaches that His servants are called to work faithfully rather than simply stay busy with things that do not matter. After His resurrection, Jesus clearly defines that work: proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and call people from every nation to salvation through Him. And we are not expected to accomplish this mission in our own strength—the risen and ascended King has promised the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.As we wait for Christ’s return, the question is not whether we have work to do, but whether we are faithfully doing the work He has given us. This message challenges us to take our next step in making disciples and joining the mission of the King.Key takeaways: • Work faithfully until Christ returns. • Proclaim the Gospel to all nations. • Make disciples who follow and obey Jesus. • Depend on the Holy Spirit’s power. • Take your next step in the King’s work.Scripture: Luke 19:11-27; Luke 24:44-48; Acts 1:6-11; Matthew 28:18-20Keywords: Mission Sunday, making disciples, Gospel mission, Great Commission, Jesus Christ returnCTA: Subscribe for weekly sermons from Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI.
