Just heard a heart-stirring sermon from Acts 8:25-40 (to my remembrance, this was one of the 'funnest' sermons I both prepared and preached at Church a number of months ago) where the preacher faithfully provided 3 points of being an effective servant of Christ as modeled by Philip in the text:
1. Be completely surrendered to the will of God.
2. Trust completely in the sovereignty of God.
3. Be totally consumed with preaching Jesus Christ.
Then he concluded with this statement which I want to post for your meditation. Really, contemplate this:
1. Be completely surrendered to the will of God.
2. Trust completely in the sovereignty of God.
3. Be totally consumed with preaching Jesus Christ.
Then he concluded with this statement which I want to post for your meditation. Really, contemplate this:
"Ninety-five percent of the preachers in the world are in America preaching to only five percent of the world's population."O may God raise up faithful men to preach Christ just as Philip did wherever Christ calls them.
