'The Great Commission: The Blessing & The Curse (Genesis 12: 1-3 & Matthew 28: 16-end)

'The Good News of the Christian Faith that I want to share with you this morning is that: The Pressure of the Great Commission is not on us to ‘convert or else’ or to convert in-exchange FOR blessing - but out of a love for others and a desire to listen to and follow Jesus (in whom WE are ALREADY blessed by faith in him), we share our faith, gently and continually nudging and guiding, as we wade into multitude of ways that people dismiss or ignore or treat the Gospel with contempt, to place into their lives front-and-center its importance and how it has changed our lives.'
