Sermon: Summary
The sermon focuses on the importance of spiritual salvation and the role of Christians in helping others find the gospel. Pastor Mike shared a personal story about saving Christine’s life to illustrate the urgency and importance of saving lives, both physically and spiritually. The sermon emphasizes the church’s value of ‘Found to Find,’ which means that those who have found Jesus are called to help others find Him as well. Key points include the necessity of loving Jesus, learning from Him, and sharing His message with others.
When I’m FOUND to FIND…
- I Can’t Stop LOVING Jesus!
- I Can’t Stop LEARNING from Jesus!
- I Can’t Stop SHARING Jesus!
