The Limiting Factor of One - Season 5, Episode 15
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Benjamin Siens
When one person's absence or lack of commitment affects an entire community's capacity to accomplish its mission, how should we respond? Pastor Dorrell examines the account of Achan's violation of God's command regarding the spoils of Jericho to argue that individual participation is never inconsequential. Through this Old Testament narrative, he demonstrates that God designed His people to function as an interdependent body where each person's involvement directly multiplies collective capacity, while any withdrawal diminishes what could otherwise be achieved. Listeners are challenged to recognize their own indispensability and to commit fully to their local church's mission, understanding that their participation—in giving, serving, and presence—makes a measurable difference in what God accomplishes through the community.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
