He gave Evangelists: (Ephesians 4:11) A passion for the Lost, a lost passion by Gideon Mpeni - a podcast by gideon macgovern

A sermon from Ephesians 4:7-14 by Gideon Mpeni continuing with the series through Ephesians, looking at Christ's gift third to the Church, the Evangelists.

“A passion for the lost – A lost Passion”

To begin with, let me just say, in a general way, that everything great in life, every significant accomplishment, every worthwhile endeavor, every supremely fulfilling enterprise is the result of someone with an undeniable, unstoppable passion.

And Christianity, if it is to impact the world, must be carried by people who are consumed passionately with its truth and with its objectives. That is not easy in this day and in this society. We live in an age and a place where our sharpness is being dulled by the constant encroachment of worldliness. Our commitment is being blunted by the plethora of options that fill up our time and take our minds and our energy.

“The church may have a big brain, but it appears to have a small heart. The church’s temperature has dropped significantly. Her step is leaden, and her spirit is apathetic. Christians today do not appear to be preoccupied with the purpose for which the Messiah came, but rather are preoccupied with making sure that they cover every little area of their life so that it can become utterly fulfilling and the way that they wish it could be. And they are very narcissistic.” (Dr. John MacArthur)

One Wonders today is carelessness the problem with the church?

Is the church dying on her feet because she just doesn't want to be bothered?

There is apathy in the world, has that apathy of the world infected the church?

Do we have a 'take it or leave it' mentality with the things of God, and particularly with evangelism?

Listen to this Sermon and hear how we can be diligently be sowers of the seed of the Gospel!
