The Seed
April 17, 2016
Jesus said the first and greatest commandment is to love God with everything we have and all that we are. That is what it means to worship. Our mission is to worship, but our worship also has a mission. As we abandon ourselves to the purposes of God, a watching world is impacted. Join us for part three of Poured Out, as we consider what Jesus meant when He said that unless a seed dies, it remains only a seed and how the mission of our worship is fulfilled through our selfless surrender to Him.
I will draw all people TO MYSELF.
“His death for our salvation is His model for our imitation.” - John Piper
Authentic worship results in effective evangelism and effective evangelism culminates in authentic worship.
I WILL draw all people to myself.
The definitive nature of this statement.
The already/not yet nature of the Gospel
I will DRAW all people to myself.
People are not DRIVEN to Jesus; they are DRAWN to Him by the beauty of His cross.
I will draw ALL PEOPLE to myself.
See John 3:16
