offering Matthew chapter 21 we're gonna be in Matthew chapter 21 today if you
don't have a Bible please raise your hand I shall hand you a Bible so you
could read along Matthew chapter 21 verse 1 says and when they drew nigh unto
Jerusalem they were come to Bethesh unto the Mount of Olives then sent Jesus to
disciples saying unto them go into the village over against you and straightway
he shall find an ass tied in a colt with her loose them and bring them unto me
and if any man say ought unto you ye shall say the Lord have need of them and
straightway he will send them all this was done that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet saying tell you the daughter of Zion behold
thy king cometh unto the meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt the fowl
of an ass and the and the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them and
brought the ass and the colt and put on them their clothes and they set him
thereon and a very great multitude spread their garments in the way others
cut down branches from the trees and strawed them in the way and the
multitudes that went before and that followed cried saying hosanna to the son
of David blesses he that comes in the name of the Lord hosanna in the highest
and when he was come into Jerusalem all the city was moved saying who is the
and a multitude said this is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee and Jesus
went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the
temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the seats of them
that sold doves and said unto them it is written my house shall be called the
house of prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves and the blind and the
lame came to him in the temple and he healed them and when the chief priest
and scribe saw the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the
temple saying hosanna to the son of David and they were sore displeased they
were sore displeased and said unto him here's thou what these say and Jesus
saith unto them yea have ye never read out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou has perfected praise and he left them and went out of the city unto
Bethany and he lodged there now in the morning as he returned into the city he
hungered and when he saw a fig tree in the way he came to it and found nothing
thereon but leaves only and said unto it let no fruit grow on thee henceforward
forever and presently the fig tree withered away and when the disciples saw
it they marveled saying how soon is the fig tree withered away and Jesus
answered and said unto them verily I say unto you if ye have faith and doubt not
ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree but also if ye shall say
unto this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea it shall be
done and all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer believing ye shall
received and when he was come into the temple the chief priests and the elders
of the people came unto him as he was teaching and said by what authority do
is thou these things and who gave thee this authority and Jesus answered and
said unto them I also will ask you one thing which if you tell me I and
likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things the baptism of John
once was it from heaven or of men and they reason with themselves saying if we
shall say from heaven he will say unto us why did ye not then believe him but
if we shall say of men we fear the people for all hold John as a prophet and
they answered Jesus and said we cannot tell and he said unto them neither tell
I you by what authority I do these things but what think ye a certain man
had two sons and he came to the first and said son go work today in my vineyard
and he answered and said I will not but afterward he repented and went and he
came to the second and said likewise and he answered and said I go sir and he
went not whether of them twain did the will of his father they say unto him the
first Jesus says unto them verily I say unto you that the publicans and harlots
go into the kingdom of God before you for John came unto you in the way of
righteousness and he believed him not but the publicans and the harlots believed
him and ye when ye had seen it repented not afterward that ye might believe him
here another parable there was a certain householder which planted a vineyard and
hedged it round about and digged a winepress in it and built a tower and it
led out to and let it out to husband men and went into a far country and when the
time of the fruit drew near he sent his servants to the husband men that they
might receive the fruits of it and the husband men took his servants and beat
one and killed another and stoned another again he sent other servants
more than the first and they did unto them likewise but last of all he sent
unto them his son saying they will reverence my son but when the husband
men saw the son they said among themselves this is the heir come let us
kill him and let us seize on his inheritance and they caught him and cast
him out of the vineyard and slew him when the Lord therefore of the vine when
the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh what will he do unto those
husband men they say unto him he will miserably destroy those wicked men and
will let out of his vineyard unto other husband men which shall render him the
fruits and their seasons Jesus saith unto him did you never read in the
scriptures the stone which the builders rejected the same has become the head of
the corner this is the Lord's doing and is marvelous in our eyes therefore say I
therefore say I unto you the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given
to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof and whosoever shall fall on this
stone shall be broken but on whosoever it shall fall it will grind it to powder
and when the chief priests and Pharisees have heard this parable the heard his
parables they perceive that he spake of them and when they ought when when they
sought to lay hands on him they feared the multitude because they took him for
a prophet. Brother Wade could you please pray for us. So you guys are in Matthew
chapter 21 so if you guys look at verse number 16 it says in Matthew 21 16 it
says and said unto him here's thou what these say and Jesus saith unto them yea
have you never read out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou has perfected
praise and then the same thing if you look in verse number 42 it says Jesus
saith unto them did you never read in the scriptures so that's the title of my
sermon tonight those little clips that verse those two verses says have you
never read so this kind of gonna be a different sermon it's all just gonna be
in order once we get started so it's gonna be pretty easy to follow along and
I kind of got this idea because this happened a few times where people who
claim to be Christians and they say they you know go to church or whatever but
they have a really down view of soul winning or they say that they don't
believe in soul winning they kind of look down say like why would you go soul
winning and think it's weird a lot of people kind of attribute it just like
Jehovah's Witnesses but you know it's kind of have you never read right because
the whole New Testament especially people that claim to believe the New
Testament they always criticize churches like ours to say hey stop preaching the
Old Testament preach the New Testament right we're in the New Covenant but it's
like every page talks about soul winning and people don't go so it's like you know
have you never read the New Testament that you talk about right and there's a
couple things statistics or whatever that who knows how they get these or how
accurate they are but it probably doesn't seem to be close or maybe this is
even less than this but it says about evangelism it says well there are no
precise statistics for the percentage of Christians who go door-to-door or who do
door-to-door evangelism estimate suggests it's very small likely under
five percent of Christians due to factors like discomfort and the view
that it is a specialized calling for a few many churches find this method less
effective than friendship evangelism or day-to-day sharing with people they know
which obviously probably never even happens but it says in some circles
evangelism is increasingly looked down upon in America particularly among
younger generations critics cite negative associations with the Christian
right and concerns over aggressive judgmental or politically aligned
approaches and it says Millennials opposition is one of the categories as
a 2019 study found that almost half of practicing Christian Millennials believed
it to be wrong to try to convert someone of a different faith so obviously door
to door evangelism or evangelism in general soul winning is kind of looked
down upon in our side here people think it's weird if you go they kind of
associate that automatically like a cult right oh you go soul and you're in a
cult and you know kind of in my experience there's been people that said
they were going to go soul winning we're going to come and then the girl they
were dating at the time or a girl heard about soul winning I was like you can't
go soul winning and then they bailed so that's kind of where I got this idea at
is people especially it seems to be when women find that a man's going soul
winning they look down and say hey you can't go but the woman itself claims to
be a Christian and go to church so that's why I want to just go in order of
once we get there there's a couple of us I want to look at first but just to see
how often the Bible brings us up and it's crazy because there's so many that
I'm leaving out like in Matthew there's so many but since we read in Matthew
we're gonna spend less time there but it's just so many that the sermon could
go for like days but I just want you guys to see just how common it is so
before we get started I want you to look at verse 19 we're not gonna reread
everything but we see here in Matthew 21 19 it says and when he saw a fig tree in
the way he came to it and found nothing there on but leaves only and said unto
it let no fruit grow on me hence forward forever so obviously we have a tree that
doesn't have any fruit and Jesus is mad about it and he says hey don't let any
fruit grow on it forever so he's kind of cursing this fig tree which obviously we
read it already but the same thing with us right if Jesus doesn't see us
producing fruit he's gonna be mad about that and he wants his trees to produce
fruit and then in verse 28 we see another parable it says in verse 28 but
what think ye a certain man had two sons and he came to the first and said son go
work today in my vineyard so obviously we read it already so I'm not gonna
spend too much time on it but Jesus the same thing he wants us to go work in his
vineyard he's telling us to do it and it's our job to go and the story is
going to continue about hey go into work in God's vineyard go in soul winning
preach in the gospel and in verse 41 if you look in verse 41 it says they say
unto him he will miserably destroy those wicked men and will let out his vineyard
unto others which shall render him the fruit in their seasons so obviously God
has taken away the king you know has taken the Bible Christianity away from
the nation of Israel and given it unto spiritual Israel that's gonna hey bring
the fruit that God wants get people saved evangelize the world and obviously
read it already so I'm not gonna spend too much time there but just in one chapter we
see multiple stories and parables that equate to preaching the gospel and going
soul-warning so we're gonna start in Matthew chapter 3 if you guys would go
to Matthew chapter 3 and again it's all gonna be in order so it's gonna be very
easy to follow along so Matthew chapter 3 verse number 1 it says in those days
came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying repent ye
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand for this is he that was spoken of by the
prophet Isaiah saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the
way of the Lord make his path straight so we see here right at the beginning of
the New Testament we have John the Baptist and John the Baptist is coming
and he's preaching right he's preaching in the wilderness and he's telling
people you know to repent to prepare the way of of the Lord and get people ready
for Jesus's ministry but obviously doesn't mean you know he's not preaching
to repent of your sins and do this crazy stuff but it says in Acts 19 not to turn
there what he's talking about when he says to repent it says in Acts 19 for it
says then said Paul John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance saying
unto the people that they should believe on him which should come after him that
is on Christ Jesus so easy here in Matthew 3 that John the Baptist is
starting off doing the same thing that we do he's saying hey he's preaching
he's telling people to believe on Jesus and he's starting off the same thing we
do hey preaching the gospel just in Matthew 3 right off the bat so if you
guys have flip over now to Matthew chapter number 9 we're gonna see Jesus
doing the same thing so you start off with John the Baptist hey starting off
his ministry is preaching he's telling people to believe on Jesus so now you
have Jesus in Matthew 9 verse 35 it says in Jesus went about all cities and
villages teaching in the synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and
healing every sickness and every disease among the people and when he saw the
multitudes he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were
scattered abroad a sheep having no shepherd then saith he unto his disciples
the harvest truly is plenious but the laborers are few pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest so we
say John the Baptist is preaching he's telling people to believe on Jesus then
you have Jesus come and he's preaching the gospel and then not only is he
preaching it he's saying hey the harvest is plenious there's lots of people that
are ready to hear this lots of people are ready to get saved but the laborers
are few then in verse 38 he's saying hey pray that more laborers are gonna be
sent so hey you have John the Baptist preaching you have Jesus preaching and
then he's saying hey pray more people are gonna preach so obviously the
emphasis in the book of Matthew so far is hey we should obviously be doing the
same thing if he's telling more people need to be doing it more need to be
going well he wants us to continue to do it and today it didn't get over with
once Jesus and the Apostles died so if you flip over to Matthew 28 so obviously
I told us that we're not going to spend as much time in Matthew as we could
obviously we could probably spend the whole sermon in Matthew because there's
so many references but here at the end of Matthew still the same theme so you
have John the Baptist Jesus and then Jesus passed passing the torch and
Matthew 28 verse number 18 it says and Jesus came and spake unto them saying
all power is given unto me in heaven and earth go ye therefore and teach all
nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you and lo
I am with you all way even unto the end of the world so obviously hey if John
the Baptist is doing it if Jesus is doing it and if Jesus is saying hey now
that I'm leaving I want you to teach all nations and preach to all nations I
don't understand how you could be a Christian and not do it right if you
could say hey I believe the New Testament and I'm cool you know if
somebody said they don't believe the Old Testament or obviously they don't follow
the Old Testament they don't believe it applies anymore but they were going
soul-winning because they just constantly were reading the New Testament
they're like man soul winnings emphasized I'd be fine with that right
because it's like hey at least they're preaching the gospel at least they're
getting lots of people saved you know hopefully one day we can teach them the
hate some things in the Old Testament still apply but at least they're going
soul-wanting it's like they're doing something good but when you don't believe
the Old Testament and then you don't believe pretty much what the New
Testament teaches you should be doing it's like you know what's what's the
point what are you right you're not a Christian at that point you're even if
even if you're saved you're not doing what the Bible says and just because
you're saved you know you can consider yourself a Christian but hey when you're
a Christian you're doing more than just being saved you're following the Bible
you're doing things right and now we're gonna get to Mark so the same thing is
going to go in Mark if you go to Mark chapter 1 the same theme is going to be
in the book of Mark so Mark 1 verse number 14 just starting the book off of
Mark is going to be this concept of preaching the gospel as well it says in
Mark 1 14 it says now after Jesus or after John was put in prison Jesus came
into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying the time is
fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent ye and believe the gospel
now as he walked by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother
casting a net into the sea for they were fishers and Jesus said unto them come ye
after me and I will make you to become fishers of men and straightway they
forsook their net and followed him so hey same thing in the book of Mark John's
being put in prison and Jesus is focused obviously probably really cares that
John's in prison he probably does not want that but at the same time he's
still keeping the mission going of hey comes into Galilee after John's put in
prison and he's preaching the gospel so he's not getting sidetracked he's not
losing focus and he's not you know gonna start protesting outside the jail and
spend all his time with signs and hollering and protesting outside the ice
facility or whatever people do nowadays right he's not focusing on John being
put in prison he's still focusing on his mission which is preaching the gospel
and then he's going out to get people to follow him and he's saying hey come
follow me and you're gonna become a fisher of men so that means if you're
not a soul winner you're not going soul winning you're not preaching the gospel
then you're not following Jesus because it says come after me and he's going to
make you a fisher of men and what did they do in verse 18 they forsook
everything they forsook their nets their job their careers and they followed him
and did it right so if you guys are flip over to mark chapter 6 mark chapter 6 so
in mark chapter 6 verse number 7 it says and he called unto him the 12 and began
to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over unclean spirits so
mark 6 Jesus starts to send out people two by two which is obviously what we do
when we go soul winning and you know that's where we get the model from right
obviously like I've said before and I'm sure most people here already know but
obviously if you don't have a partner you live in a crazy part of the world or
you're you know you move one day and there's no one to go soul winning with
you still should go soul winning even if it's by yourself but obviously it's best
to go two by two and that's what Jesus did and that's why you know pretty much
every church I've ever been to that's Baptist they send you with somebody it's
two by two but obviously hey these people are going out and they're
spending their time soul winning and in verse number 12 it's gonna say what they
were doing we're gonna skip down for sake of time it says and they went out
and preach that men should repent and obviously hey we already seen that when
they're saying hey repent it means to stop believing what you're believing and
believe in Jesus right it doesn't say repent of your sins but you do have to
stop what you're doing if you don't believe in Jesus and you have to repent
of that and start believing that Jesus paid for all your sins so if you'd flip
over to mark chapter 8 mark chapter 8 and obviously we're skipping so many
examples there's so many more examples so many more stories so many more verses
that teach this but you know obviously we're gonna have a good number as we
get going but obviously so far it's a huge emphasis in the Bible and in mark
834 it says and when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also
he said unto them whosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take
up his cross and follow me for whosoever will save his life shall lose it but
whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels the same shall save it
for what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his
own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul whosoever therefore
shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation
of him also shall the son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of
his father with the Holy Angel so obviously hey the Bible is putting a
huge emphasis here on the price of a soul right so you know you get somebody
saved and it's worth more to God than all the money in the world it should be
it's that person that you got saved it should be worth more to them than even
if Elon Musk gave them all his money right I mean even if he had all that
money and he went to hell it wouldn't make a difference so it's more than
anything in this world and you know the Bible is putting a huge price what will
a man give in exchange for his soul and the only people who can get people saved
are people that are saved right if you're saved you have to tell somebody
because somebody's not saved obviously there's people who say what we say right
that aren't really saved but you know the vast majority of people that aren't
saved just preach a works-based salvation you're not going to have
somebody who's preaching you got to live a good life and go to church to go to
heaven they're not going to go out and accidentally get somebody saved right is
the people who believe it's by faith that are going to go out and get
somebody saved so it's a very few number of people that can do it and then even
fewer the people who are willing to do it so since we know how to do it we had
this power and you know it's a big thing right because I mean what would somebody
give for their soul and obviously the answer should be nothing doesn't matter
what it is you should not trade anything in order to go to hell right you should
want to go to heaven no matter what you have to give up and obviously hey if the
Bible is putting that big of an emphasis on it God would want us to keep preaching
today right it didn't stop once the New Testament was written like okay now so
when he doesn't matter anymore this still applies today hey what would a man give
for his soul and if you guys would flip over to mark 16 mark 16 we're gonna see
the same thing right the book of Mark is gonna end with the same commission of it
says in Mark 16 15 and he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature so hey the Bible says to go preach to everybody and
that didn't stop once the Bible was written that still applies today and now
we're gonna be in the gospel of Luke and Luke's gonna continue the same theme
and obviously I've said there's a million different verses that I could
have put in here that I've skipped but this is gonna give an idea of just how
consistent this theme is so in Luke chapter 1 verse 16 it says and many of
the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God so hey if it's
important for John the Baptist to turn many of the children of Israel to their
God you know it's the same thing today right we should be turning the hearts of
people to God getting them saved and doing things right for God and then in
Luke 4 18 it says the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted to
preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind to set
liberty them that are bruised to preach the acceptable year of the Lord so
obviously hey again you know God wants us to preach God sent Jesus to preach
John the Baptist to preach the Apostles the disciples people you know throughout
time that have preached the gospel and we should still be doing that today it's
the same importance as it was before even though maybe people don't want to
hear it as much than in the past God told us to do it right God didn't say
hey do it if people want to hear it he just said do it period and obviously if
there's a group of people I didn't want to hear it it's the Jews in the Bible
right I mean they did not want to hear it and they still had to go so no matter
what doors you knock that are bad it's like these people had it worse right
because in the Bible you know they're always trying to be killed or trying to
kill people that preach the Word of God to them so obviously we've never had
anybody that mad that we've tried to preach to so it still applies to us and
in Luke chapter 5 verse number 10 it says and and so was also James and John
the sons of Zebedee which were partners with Simon and Jesus said unto Simon fear
not from henceforth thou shalt catch men and when he had brought their ship to
land they forsook all and followed him so again hey they're forsaken all from
now on when they start following Jesus they're gonna start to catch men and
they're gonna have to follow him they're gonna have to get people saved and
forsake you know fishing as a job right maybe you can still do it for fun but as
it worked after forsaken that's my interpretation so in Luke chapter 8 we're
gonna continue and in Luke chapter 8 we're gonna have another parable about
sowing hair and preaching and going out to sow it says in Luke 8 verse number
5 it says a sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed some fell by the
wayside and it was trodden down and the fowls of the air devoured it and some
fell upon a rock and as soon as it was sprung up it withered away because it
lacked moisture and some fell among thorns and the thorn sprung up with it
and choked it and others fell on good ground and sprang up and bare fruit and
hundredfold and when he had said these things he cried he that hath ears to
hear let him hear and his disciples asked saying what might this parable be
and he said unto unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God
but to others and parables that seeing they might not see and hearing they
might not understand now the parable is this the seed is the word of God those
by the wayside are they that hear then cometh the devil and taketh away the
word out of their hearts lest they should believe and be saved they on the
rock are they which when they hear received the word with joy and these
have no root which for a while believe and in time of temptation fall away and
that which fell among thorns are they which when they had have heard go forth
and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life and bring forth
no fruit to perfection but that but that on the good ground are they which in an
honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit with
patience so in this parable we have the same thing right somebody going out to
sow and there's good ground bad ground and there's some people who hey they
don't even get saved but then there's some people who they get saved but they
don't bring forth fruit but you want to be like in verse number 15 the people
with a good heart they bring forth fruit and you know you just read that and you
want to be that good person right no one wants to be somebody who God wouldn't
say has a good heart right you want to be somebody that God would say this guy
has a good heart and the way you have that and you show that is by bringing
forth fruit right and it's so consistent because you have the parable like we
read in Matthew 21 with the fig tree right and it doesn't bring forth fruit
and Jesus curses it and here you have fruit again right so it's just the Bible
so consistent with this fruit and fruit is just bearing something after yourself
right if you're an apple tree you're gonna bear an apple same thing if you're
a Christian you're gonna bear fruit which is another Christian somebody
getting saved and we're gonna continue in Luke chapter 9 I'm trying to go fast
because sake of time there's so many and I could only get to Acts once you get to
Acts it's like there's so many it's hard to keep going it's like whatever I was
gonna try to do the whole New Testament but it's like impossible but in Acts
chapter 9 or Luke chapter 9 verse number 2 it says and he sent them to preach the
kingdom of God and to heal the sick so again in Luke 9 it's just super clear he
sent them to what to preach the kingdom of God and Luke chapter number 10 verse
number 1 it says after these things the Lord appointed other 70 also and sent
them two by two before his face into every city and place whether he
himself would come therefore said he unto them the harvest is great but the
laborers are few pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send
forth laborers into his harvest so again here we see 70 people they're sent out
two by two again like we already talked about and Jesus says the same thing that
hey the laborers are few and he wants more laborers to go he wants people to
pray for that he's hoping more laborers are gonna go and obviously today in our
society there's lots of people on this earth right there's billions of people
so there's a good opportunity to have lots of laborers but again it's the
same thing as here most who aren't gonna go the laborers are few but Jesus wants
people to go so I don't understand how people and Christians who only believe
the New Testament applies and the New Testament is not that big you would
think that they would read this a few times a year and wonder hey should I be
a laborer right should I go into this harvest and they never do and then not
only do they not go but then they stop other people from going or they say if
you do go you're in a cult and then the person that would go stops going because
they're scared that you know their family member thinks they're in a cult or
whatever so we're going to continue to Luke chapter number 13 Luke chapter 13
and Luke chapter 13 verse number 6 it says in Luke 13 6 it says he spake also
this parable a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came
and sought fruit thereon and found none then said he unto the dresser of the
vineyard behold these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and
find none cut it down why combereth it the ground so this is kind of a scary
thing right that somebody's coming and you know God's looking and he he wants
fruit on you right and you never have any fruit so here it says hey what's the
point right just cut it down what's the point of having this in the ground right
if you have a tree that's an apple tree and it's in your yard taking all the
space and it never brings apples eventually you're gonna cut it down and
plant a different tree well same thing with us right if if you're a saved
Christian and you never ever go soul winning and you never get anybody saved
what's your point of still being here right so obviously not saying that God
is gonna kill you tomorrow if you don't go soul winning but it is kind of
fearful of hey at what point could God to say hey there's no point to have you
around if you're not gonna do any work for me you might as well just come to
heaven now right because obviously the only reason that God needs you here is
to get people saved try to preach to others and keep the lineage going of
people getting saved and if you're not gonna do any of that there's no point
for you to be here and God is saying in this example that hey why cometh at the
ground just cut the tree down but in verse number eight it says and he
answering sent to him Lord let it alone this here also till I shall dig about it
and dung it and if it bear fruit well and if not then after that thou shall
cut it down so obviously hey you know God could say he's ready to cut you down or
whatever if you're not getting people saved but you know he might decide to hey
let me bless this person let me you know put certain things in his life to make
it easier to be able to you know go soul winning more right like say you're
working 80 hours a week and you know you can't go soul winning because you can
barely pay your bills and you also you get a raise out of nowhere and then it's
like well now you're working 40 hours a week and now you have this free time it
could be something like this where hey you know God's given you a blessing to
give you that opportunity but if you still don't go so many you still don't
do anything well you know let it alone this year also and if it doesn't do
anything then cut it down right so obviously you it's kind of scary and I
know some preachers say you know God's never gonna judge you God's never gonna
do anything God's never gonna punish you whatever but you see stories like this
where God's clearly saying hey in verse number 9 if it bear fruit well and if
not then after that thou shall cut it down so I don't see how you can say hey
God's never gonna judge you God's never gonna punish you God's never gonna do
anything because it's pretty clear that hey if you don't bear any fruit and God's
trying and doing all the stuff to let you bear fruit you never do it never do
it never do it there could come to a point where God was like cut cut it down
right so obviously we never want to get to that point and who knows when that
point is right I'm not saying it's a year or whatever but you know you want
to try to bear some fruit that way you never have to worry about this in your
life so continue to Luke chapter 14 Luke chapter 14 verse number 21 it says in
Luke 14 21 it says so that servant came and showed his Lord these things then
the master of the house being angry said to his servant go out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city and bring in hither the poor and the maimed and
the halt and the blind and the servant said Lord it is done as thou has
commanded and yet there is room and the Lord said unto the servant go out of the
highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled so
here we see hey God wants us to go everywhere wants us to go and get the
maim the halt the blind the poor but those are obviously the most receptive
people once you hit all those says hey go into the highways and hedges and
compel them to come in because God wants his house to be filled and obviously
that's just so clear of an example of hey go out there preach get people saves
that hey God's house in heaven can be filled and you know more and more people
can be in heaven and obviously God I feel like everybody that ever exists it
could have been saved they all would have fit in heaven so you know we're
never gonna fill it to the point where it's like no one else is allowed but
obviously we can try to fill it the best we can and get the most people saved as
possible so continuing to Luke we're gonna be in Luke 24 Luke chapter 24 so
in Luke 24 we're gonna see the same thing in verse number 47 that we've seen in
Matthew and Mark so in Luke 24 verse number 47 or Luke 24 47 it says and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all
nations beginning at Jerusalem so obviously it started in Jerusalem but he
wants it to go where all nations and he wants it preached everywhere in every
single nation around the world so obviously America wasn't even around at
this time so obviously somebody has to preach to America and that would be who
us right so we're going to continue in John chapter number one John chapter
number one it says there was a man sent from God whose name was John in verse
number seven it says the same came for a witness to bear witness of the light
that all men through him might believe he was not that light but was sent to
bear witness of that light so hey there's a guy John who the Bible you
obviously says John the Baptist is a great man probably one of the best men
to ever live even since then at that time but at that time you know Jesus said
he was the best born among women and you know a great guy but he was sent just to
bear witness of the light and you can do the same thing right you're not John the
Baptist but you are sent to bear witness to the light because we've already seen
in Luke that hey it says it needs to be preached among all nations and you have
to do that which means that you're sent to bear witness that all men through him
might believe so you had the same commission you can do the same thing John
the Baptist did and he wants Jesus wants everybody to do that and every single
person that ever lived has the opportunity to do the same thing that
John the Baptist was sent to do and John the Baptist had a great job and is a
great man of God so you could do a great job and you can be a great person for
God and we're going to continue to John chapter 4 John chapter 4 in John 4 34 it
says in John 4 34 Jesus saith unto them my meat is to do the will of him that
sent me and to finish his work say not ye there are yet four months and then
cometh harvest behold I say unto you lift up your eyes and look on the fields
for they are white already to harvest and he that reapeth receiveth wages and
gathereth fruit unto life eternal that both he that soweth and he that reapeth
may rejoice together and therein is that saying true one soweth and another
reapeth I sent you to reap whereon you bestow no labor other men labored and you
are entered into their labor so hey the same thing God's saying hey there's
don't say there's four months and now we're gonna go soul winning or we need
to wait four months for people to be receptive the fields are white they're
ready now and God wants you to go now and get people saved and the benefit of
doing this is that you're gonna receive wages and you're gonna gather fruit
unto life eternal and you know obviously in verse 34 it says that he sent us to
reap we're on we bestowed no labor obviously I already talked about this in
another sermon but you know we have it so easy that all you have to do is
preach you know 10 verses 12 verses or whatever you can even preach one verse
John 3 16 or Romans 6.3 and probably get some people saved with just one verse
because they know so much about the Bible so much about God but obviously it
didn't happen like that out of nowhere great men had to preach the Bible had to
preach tons of sermons had to translate the Bible do great things to get to that
point so if we don't go not only do we make all that Jesus did void we also
make all the great works that men before us did void because those people had to
do so much work and now we can go in that field and they already planted it
we just pick off the fruit easily right but if somebody plants a field and then
they pass away and no one ever reaps that field it's kind of like they wasted
their time right at least that this money plants a great field and then
somebody goes in and takes all the fruit and then they sell it and people get to
eat it and people live on that fruit it's like well at least that person he
died but he planted a field and it produced something right it didn't go in
vain and the same thing with all the great men for us the more work we can do
the less stuff they did in vain so I'm gonna hit a bunch of these quick so you
have to turn there you guys can turn to you guys can turn to Acts chapter 2 so
I'm gonna read a bunch of these in a row you have to turn there but in in John
14 12 it says barely barely I stand to you he that believeth on me the works
that I do shall he do also in greater works than the shall he do because I go
unto my father so hey what did Jesus do he preached he got people saved he did
the works that God wants me to do and he says hey if you believe in me you're
gonna do greater works than I did so obviously if he's preaching we should be
preaching and obviously we're not going to be better than Jesus but we can get
more people saved because we can have more people to reach and obviously
hopefully we're around for a longer period of time that we can live for a
great age and in John 15 - it says every branch in me that bringeth not fruit he
taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit he purges that that it may bring
forth more fruit so the same thing we already seen this but hey if you're not
bearing fruit you can be taken away and then if you are bringing fruit God's
gonna purge you to try to make you bring more or forth more fruit and make you
more productive John 15 5 it says I am the vine you are the branches he that
abideth in me and I and him the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me
you can do nothing so hey if Jesus says here that if you
abide in me the same is gonna bring forth much fruit well if you're not
bringing forth any fruit then obviously you're not abiding in Jesus right so in
matter in John 15 8 it says here is my father glorified that you bear much
fruit so shall you be my disciples and in John 17 18 it says as thou has sent
me into the world even so have I also sent them into the world John 20 21 it
says then said Jesus unto them again peace be unto you as my father has sent
me even so send I you so Jesus was sent to do what seek and save that which was
lost he was always trying to get people saved so if he was sent to do that what
are we sent to do to obviously give people save to seek and to save that
which was lost and we already went to Luke so I'm gonna don't flip there but
I'm going back in time Luke 19 10 it says for the Son of Man is to as come to
seek and to save that which is lost so if we're if Jesus is sending us to do
the same thing he was sent to do and he was sent to seek and to save that which
was lost it means that we're sent to seek and to save that which is lost so
now we're gonna get to Acts and we're not gonna get through this but at Acts
chapter 2 verse number 37 it says now when they heard this they were pricked
in their hearts and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles men and
brethren what shall we do then Peter said to them repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins and he
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost so here we see hey right at the start of
Acts they're saying hey to repent which means to turn from unbelief to belief
and to be baptized in Jesus so what's he doing he's preaching them trying to get
them saved and in verse 41 we're gonna see the result of him preaching and the
group of people that he's with preaching these messages and you know
doing the same thing we've read already tons of verses on preaching the gospel
it says in verse 41 it says then they that gladly received his word were
baptized and the same day there were added unto them about 3,000 souls so hey
you got a group of soul winners out there they're preaching Peter preaches a
great message and you know out of that whole group 3,000 people about got saved
and you know you just see the same thing right Jesus is just constantly telling
people to preach the gospel Acts chapter 2 you had that put in place they're
starting to do it you know obviously they did it before this but uh you know
in the book of Acts and 3,000 people are saved right off the bat so now we're
going to be in Acts chapter 4 the book of Acts is hard to figure out which ones
you want to use because the whole book is just constantly people soul winning
people getting saved preaching the gospel it's just over and over you know
almost every single page has it multiple times and in Acts chapter 4 verse number
1 it says and as they spake unto the people the priest and the captain of the
temple and the Sadducees came unto them being grieved that they taught the
people and what do they do and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the
dead which is the same thing that we do hey we preach the resurrection of Jesus
right and in verse number three it says and they laid hands on them and put them
and hold unto the next day for it was now eventide albeit many of them which
heard the word believed and the number of the men was about five thousand so
hey again three thousand five thousand when you preach the resurrection just
tons of people can get saved and it'd be nice if it was like that in America
still but you know obviously we can still get lots of people saved over the
course of a year here and do great things for God and we're going to continue
in Acts chapter 5 verse 25 it says then came one and told them saying behold the
men whom he put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people so
hey these people they're put in prison they get out and then they go right back
to soul one and they're going right back to teaching the people trying to get
people saved look at verse number 28 for Sega time it says saying did not we
straightly command you that you should not teach in this name and behold you
have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man's blood
upon us so hey we see that hey they're preaching they're teaching trying to
heal saved and then here we see that they're commanded not to but they still
did it and they filled all of Jerusalem with their doctrine and in verse 31
we're gonna skip down it says him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a
prince and a Savior for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of
sins so they're preaching the same exact thing that we preach right hey
forgiveness of sins a Savior which is exactly what we preach and if you
continue in the timeline obviously Stephen's gonna be killed we all know
that story for preaching trying to get people saved trying to get people to
turn from you know their wickedness and believe the truth and in Acts chapter
8 verse number 2 it says and devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made
great lamentation over him as for Saul he made havoc of the church entering into
every house and hailing men and women committed them to prison therefore they
that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word and Philip
went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them so hey we see
persecution comes they go they're scattered everywhere and they don't hide
they continue to preach the word same thing that we do right preach the word
go soul winning preach give people saved and in verse number five they go to a
city they're preaching Christ right it's just consistent the whole New Testament
over and over and over again is going to be the same thing if you'd still be in
Acts chapter 8 but look at verse 34 it's going to say and the eunuch answered
Philip and said I pray thee of whom speak at the prophet this of himself or
some other man then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and
what he do preached unto him Jesus so same exact thing it's just over and over
preaching Jesus preaching Jesus soul winning getting people saved bearing
fruit it's just consistent the whole New Testament over and over again
Acts chapter 10 verse 42 in Acts 10 42 it says and he commanded us to preach
unto the people and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be
the judge of quick and dead to him give all the prophets witness that through
his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remissions of sins so not
only in the New Testament but also the Bible says that all prophets give him
witness that whosoever believeth right it's not different in the New
Testament it's always been the same thing and every single prophet is
preaching that it's by believing in Jesus believing in God it's a free gift
and everybody's preached that the whole Bible is about that everything is about
going to heaven a free gift and you know you could preach this in the Old
Testament as well but this is geared towards people who say we're in the New
Testament the Old Testament doesn't apply I'm just showing the hypocrisy of
hey the New Testament is loaded and loaded that it's you know I could go
easily for an hour and not even hit probably a quarter of the verses that
talk about it so what book are you reading what New Testament are you
reading so Acts chapter 11 verse number 19 Acts chapter 11 verse number 19 it
says now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose
about Stephen traveled as far as Phineces and Cyprus and Antioch preaching
the word to none but under the Jews only which seems like a terrible idea but you
know at least they're preaching to somebody but it should probably be the
opposite and in verse number 20 it says and some of them were men of Cyprus and
Cyrene which when they were come to Antioch spake unto the Grecians
preaching the Lord Jesus and in verse 21 it says in the hand of the Lord was
with them and a great number believed and turned unto the Lord so obviously hey
there's going city to city they're preaching Jesus they're preaching the
word and in verse 21 the result of that is a great number believed and they turn
to the Lord obviously you know we read at the beginning where they said so when
he doesn't work evangelism doesn't work and you know it's kind of frowned upon
now or whatever but hey the result is still the same thousands of years later
thousands of years before this if you preach the word you preach the Bible lots
of people are gonna believe lots of you are gonna turn to the Lord you see it
consistently from Genesis to Revelation it's always the same thing and if you go
over to Acts chapter 13 Acts chapter 13 is just gonna continue and people really
want to hear it says in Acts 13 44 it says in the next Sabbath day came
almost the whole city together to hear the word of God so obviously that's
crazy to think about the whole city's coming together to hear the word of God
and it says but when the Jews saw the multitude they were filled with envy and
spake against those things were spoken by Paul contradicting and blaspheming
then Paul and Barnabas wax bold and said it was necessary that the word of God
should first have been spoken to you but seeing he put it from you and judge
yourselves unworthy of everlasting life lo we turn to the Gentiles for so had the
Lord commanded us saying I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles that thou
shouldest be for salvations unto the ends of the earth so hey the same thing
that they're preaching the whole city's coming together to hear the word of God
and for some reason they're just stuck on trying to preach to the Jews and they
finally get it right you guys judge yourself unworthy we're gonna turn to
the Gentiles we're gonna focus on them and it says that God set them to be a
light to the Gentiles under the ends of the earth which is the same thing we're
commanded to do right to preach the gospel to every nation all throughout
the earth and obviously the same thing still applies today that you know the
Jews mostly don't want to hear it's obviously some people do you know I'm
sure you could get some people saved there but obviously the Gentiles and
non-jews are gonna be the receptive people and they're the ones that are
gonna want to get saved but at least they're preaching to people even though
they probably should have been to the Gentiles earlier than this at least
they're still preaching the word but at some point like in this story if people
don't want to hear you go to the neighborhood that doesn't want to hear
you don't just keep knocking that neighborhood right there's some churches
that just knock the neighborhood around the church over and over again and at
some point if those people don't get saved because they've already heard it
or they've already said no and they just keep saying no at some point go to a
different area go to a more receptive neighborhood you know you should preach
to everybody but you should try to focus more on the receptive areas and not just
you know keep going to the nice areas and then just hit all the nice areas and
never see anybody get saved or very few you should try to hit the poor people
because they're the most receptive and then after that then hit the better areas
the richer areas but you obviously once you're done with those you want to go
back to try to hit the poor again and mix it up because like the Apostle Paul
you want to get the people saved and God says to go under the ends of the earth so
you can't just continue to focus on just one little area by your church and just
do that your whole life you know you have to continue to move and get
different spots continue to you know try to do bigger works and in verse 49 the
result of this it says and the word of the Lord was published throughout all
the region so again hey don't focus on one area try to focus on a whole region
once you can get to that point obviously we've just started as a church so we
shouldn't be there yet but obviously one day you know we've already done soul
winning marathons in Chicago Detroit and you know done great things so obviously
it really doesn't apply to us too much but we want to keep that attitude right
we want to hit Indiana Indianapolis we've went to the poor areas now we're
nicer areas but we still want to hit the Chicago's the Detroit's and continue to
do great works for God and hopefully we can get to the point where all of
Indianapolis all of Indiana the whole region can know right and obviously when
you know brother Stephen and brother Justin are always on the news you know we
get to do it a lot easier because hey that the news puts it on there for free
that uh you know somebody's preaching the Word of God right so we're gonna
continue in Acts chapter 14 and I'm gonna hurry for sake of time but Acts
14 6 says they were aware of it and fled unto Lystra and Derbe cities of like
Haonia and unto the regions that lieth round about and what they do and there
they preached the gospel. Acts 14 21 if you look at it down at verse 21 it says
and when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many they
returned again until Lystra and Tyconia and Antioch so again hey city to city
going all over the place and then in Acts 15 you guys can turn to Acts 16 I'll
read Acts 15 35 says Paul also in Barnabas continuing to Antioch teaching
and preaching the word of the Lord with many others also. Acts 16 10 it says and
after he had seen the vision immediately and endeavored to go
into Macedonia assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the
gospel unto them so we just see over and over different cities right same thing
we try to do Chicago Detroit Indianapolis small town so winning right
people go on mission trips same thing there's just never ever going to be a
time where you're done because there's always another city always another
country always another you know app that you can talk to people from all over the
world that can get saved it's just unlimited so you guys are an act 16 since
you know the story too much I'll skip down to verse 30 for sake of time it
says and brought them out and says sirs what must I do to be saved and they said
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in thy house and
they spake unto him the word of the Lord and to all that were in his house so hey
you know they're in prison and they're still preaching to people that they
probably might not like too much and he says what do I have to do to be saved
and they get him saved because hey you can get anybody saved and even if
there's somebody that maybe is treating you bad you can still get them saved and
do a great thing so I'm gonna skip some of these for sake of time but Acts 17
verse 1 through 4 you're gonna see preaching the gospel Acts 17 16 through
18 you're gonna see people preaching the gospel and you guys can flip over to
Acts chapter number 28 so I'm gonna read Acts 19 10 it says and this continued
by the space of two years so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word
of the Lord both Jews and Greeks so obviously that's crazy to think that hey
you can preach the gospel so much that everybody that is in a whole area all of
Asia they heard the word both the Jews and the Greeks that's obviously a great
goal to do right it's gonna take a lot of work so I'm gonna read you guys could
read this more for sake of time if you want but Acts chapter 20 another great
example of lots of soul winning lots of preaching but I'm just gonna read verse
25 for sake of time it says and now behold I know that ye all among whom I
have gone preaching the kingdom of God shall see my face no more wherefore I
take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men for I
have not shunned to declare unto you the counsel of God so hey at the end of the
book of Acts the Apostle Paul can say I'm pure of the blood of all men that he
doesn't take responsibility for anybody going to hell because he preached to
everybody and he was a witness of how to go to heaven to every single person in
Asia and he can say hey I'm pure of everything right and we want to get to
that point as a church as a person an individual as a family that you can say
you're pure of the blood of all men right because you know I found out later
that there's people in my family that were saved after I tried to get them
saved before they passed away and they were already saved and they you know in
the whole gospel I said I already believe that they got in the military
but then you wonder like why didn't you pass it down right and you spend lots of
time with people and for some reason people are scared or they forget or you
know life happens or I don't know but they don't pass it down but obviously you
know I don't want to be in that position where you know somebody in my family
down the road goes to hell because I got out of church or I didn't feel like
sharing it to them and you know you definitely want to be pure the blood of
your family but you know also your city your state your area your country you
know your your nation the world there's always going to be somebody that needs
to be saved and we want to be pure the blood of all men as well so on Acts
chapter 28 we're going to conclude here and obviously I skipped a lot there was
a lot of other ones you can go to an axe but obviously I knew I wasn't gonna get
to them all so in Acts 28 we're gonna end here in verse 28 it says be it known
therefore unto you that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles and that
they will hear it and when he had said these words the Jews departed and had
great reasoning among themselves and Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired
house and received all that came in unto him and what did he do he's preaching
the kingdom of God and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus
Christ with all confidence no man forbidding him so hey the book of Acts
ends with preaching the book of Matthew starts with preaching and obviously I
kind of want to do the whole New Testament but I was like there's no way I'm
even gonna get close unless I can preach like three hours but in one hour there's
no way so obviously I skipped tons of different examples and you guys are
probably thinking of lots of different examples I didn't go over but it just
goes to show that when people say hey so winning you're in a cult or why do you
do that it's weird it's like have you ever read the whole New Testament is
literally every single page almost there's an example that you can use if
somebody preaching the gospel somebody getting saved or telling you to preach
or about rewards but it's just over and over again so obviously continue to
think about that and always remember to go so winning because literally the whole
New Testament the whole Bible is just about people getting saved and about
preaching so just always think about that and then if people tell you not to
go don't listen to them because obviously the Bible is the final authority and the
Bible is very clear on it and there's no debating no questioning you can't even
say well I'm not sure if the Bible talks about it because like we said if you
were to read it it's almost every single page so we'll close with the word of
prayer so thank you Lord for a great church to be in and to be able to hear
great preaching and to have great fellowship and please continue to let us
do great works for you and to see tons of people saved for this rest of the
year and for next year and please continue to bless us and let us grow we
love you and thank you and in Jesus name we pray amen man thank you brother Brett
