Entire Service from 9/15/2024:

We are tasked with a critical mission, to spread the gospel to all nations, and Satan knows he can’t stop us outright. Satan seeks to demoralize us from doing our mission. He seeks to undermine our confidence, our sense of purpose, and our belief that God’s mission will succeed. He aims to make us feel overwhelmed and inadequate, questioning whether our efforts even matter.

He's constantly whispering to us that sharing the gospel is pointless. "Look at the world around you," he says. "People aren’t interested in God. They’re hostile, indifferent, or too busy with their own lives. Your efforts won’t make a difference."

Or he tries to convince Christians that we are isolated in our mission. "You’re the only one struggling with this," he whispers. "No one cares if you succeed or fail. Look at how few people are joining you in spreading the gospel. Why even bother?" He wants us to feel abandoned and alone, hoping we’ll give up on what God has called us to do.

The hard part is, we often listen. Maybe the great commission is impossible. After all, I’m not super comfortable sharing my faith, and it does seem like very few people are even interested in hearing about it. I don’t want to have an awkward conversation, so why even try? These are lies that we believe about evangelism.

But our good and gracious Savior knew exactly what the devil would try to pull, so he knew exactly what to say to the disciples, and to us, just before he ascended into heaven. We know the great enemy is in opposition to the great commission. Satan himself wants the church to fail in every aspect of this mission- especially when it comes to sharing the good news.
