Recruiting Counts

I am often asked about when I am going to preach a hell fire and brimstone sermon. To this I typically reply that unless I am directed by the Holy Spirit, I likely will not because I am called to share Good News. God has called me to share a message of hope, grace, and the love of Jesus to a broken world. As I recently read, “We understand that the message of the gospel introduces the lost and the hopeless people to a life of hope through Jesus.” I believe that I not only have Good News to share, but you do too! We all have Good News and hope to share with others.

This is something that the church has in common with college football, we both recruit. We want people to join our team and know that hope and the saving grace of Jesus. In fact, you are a recruiter and Jesus commissioned you to be a recruiter. He invited his followers to go and make disciples. Just as recruiting is essential to any college program, so it is essential to life in the church. In fact, it is more than essential, it is our primary task. Are you ready to recruit with the Good News of Jesus, offering hope to a hurting world?

May the peace of Christ dwell in you richly,

Rev. Sherri
