The above link is to a podcast from a message I delivered earlier this year for our Youth. The message was interconnected with missions which seemed to be our focus this summer. Our students traveled all the way to Jamacia and gave of themselves to further the kindom. We need to make our workplaces, schools, and our neighborhoods our mission field. This is what God has called us to do.

"Whom shall I send? Who is sufficient? Such a degree of courage for God and concern for the souls of men as is necessary to make a man faithful, and withal such an insight into the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven as is necessary to make a man skilful, are seldom to be met with. Such an interpreter of the mind of God is one of a thousand. None are allowed to go for God but those who are sent by him; he will own none but those whom he appoints. It is Christ's work to put men into the ministry. Here I am, send me! Lord, give me commission and full instruction; send me, and then, no doubt, thou wilt stand by me.” - Matthew Henry

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV)
