"Go Means GO" | Pastor Ben Kellert

Sunday, January 26, 2025 - Bethel Pentecostal Church, Barrhead, AB

 

John 3:16... Now What?

  • Don't hoard the love God has lavished over you...

Mark 16:15   "He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

"I"

Galatians 2:20  "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

The "I" must die...

"Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary." - St. Francis of Assisi

1 Corinthians 12:12-21   "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. 

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

  • We are all a part of the body of Christ and need each part of each other to serve together.
  • We are stronger together!

What we do is not as important as That we do!

  • Participate!  Be willing and available!

Acts 1:8  "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Dunamis: (definition) Power, strength, ability, might, miracle

  • God's power is available to us

John 14:12  "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

Ephesians 3:20  "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,"

Acts 1:8b  "...and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

GO!  Go means GO!
