Sermon Transcription
Now suppose for a moment that I was called to preach a sermon in your office or your neighborhood. I wonder if I could use you as an illustration. I wonder if I could go into your office or where you live or work or dwell or commune or commute and I could go to the people and say, oh God there is such a promise of God that he was going to give his spirit and there was going to be a change in people's lives, there was going to be miraculous things begin to happen in those who would turn to him and believe. And this is that. Could I use you? Did it occur to you that Christ is always trying to preach a sermon through you? That I might not be there but Christ is in your office, Christ is in your home, Christ is in your apartment building, Christ is in your neighborhood, always wanting to speak to those who are destined for an eternity in hell, who don't see any way out, they are confused about the existence of God and God is wanting to so work in you that he can point to you, you're not even aware of it, you're just walking down the hall with your groceries saying hello to people as you go and the Holy Ghost is there saying this is that, this is that. Our lives are to be a compelling testimony. We have churches all over the nation who spend weeks trying to out-preach one another, out-sing one another and that's the only hope that people even go there, that they have a good program because there's so little testimony among the people. What a tragedy that Christ can't even point to his church and say this is that, this is that. Pray to God that if I were to bring somebody unsaved on the platform that I could point to this congregation and say this is that, this is that which is promised and that your life would be a compelling testimony. Then they said of course they heard it, they were pricked in their heart and said what shall we do, what shall we do. Oh it's my heart's desire to live that way, to be a Christian that the Holy Spirit can point to and he could point to us and we might not even be aware of it and the Holy Spirit could say this is that.
