Shame can keep you trapped. Don't let it prevent you from getting help. The first step is to go to your pastor for confession. He will offer forgiveness and support to help you through this struggle. Come confess your sin; I am here to help.

Pastors once traveled for weeks, leaving their congregations behind for missionary work. One group even leaped from a moving train to reach a remote mission, finding their strength and purpose in serving the lost and helpless.

People have deep questions about Jesus, even if they don't know who you are. This happens unexpectedly, like during a casual dinner. They might not be churchgoers, but they'll seize the moment to chat with the pastor if given the chance.

When Jesus looked at the crowds, He didn't see attendance numbers, budgets, or organizational challenges. He saw people who were "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."

In this Sunday's sermon, Pastor James Huenink reflects on a question every church should ask: Why do we do outreach?
The answer matters. Outreach motivated by fear seeks to preserve what we have. Outreach motivated by Christ's compassion seeks to share the saving Gospel with people who need Jesus.

Watch this message from Matthew 9:35–10:8 and be encouraged by the heart of Christ for the lost and the peace found in His finished work.

📖 "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Jesus came not to call the righteous, but sinners, calling us to learn mercy and not sacrifice.

What does it take to be a 'good person' or 'good citizen' in America today? Find a passionate job, be rich and successful, find your perfect spouse, track your carbon footprint, recycle perfectly, eat right, support the right coffee companies, solve all your problems, and save the world. The weight of it all on a 22-year-old is immense.

We all fall short. Only Jesus Christ, God and man, lived perfectly according to God's holy law, dying for our sins. He alone receives the blessings described in scripture.

Are your priorities in order? Many people unknowingly place their family, career, or even money above their faith. If your bank account reflects what you spend the most on, it might be showing what you truly worship. Let's re-evaluate our trust and love.

Luther's insight: a god is anything you expect all good from. When fear of social ostracism, financial ruin, or even disease surpasses your reverence for the divine, you've created an idol. Examine what truly holds your ultimate trust and fear.

Are we like the Pharisees, waiting for others to come to us? We should share the gospel as we go, but be mindful not to burden them with a new law of Moses when sharing Christ's message.
