Greater Things Week 2

In this sermon, the pastor continues the "Greater Things" series, explaining that when Jesus told His disciples they would do greater things, He was referring to a greater impact of the gospel beyond geographical boundaries. The sermon outlines Jesus' intentional blueprint for creating a movement that would reach nations, starting from the small village of Nazareth. Jesus deliberately broke cultural, religious, and social barriers by choosing ordinary fishermen as disciples rather than the educated elite, ministering to Samaritans, Romans, and Gentiles, and crossing into territories Jews traditionally avoided.

Pastor Sam emphasizes that Jesus was not reactionary but purposeful in His ministry, preparing His disciples to continue His work after His departure. He explains that salvation is not our destination but our pathway to accomplishing our purpose - to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth with God's message. This challenges believers to stop being limited by man-made religious rules and cultural barriers and instead use the power of the Holy Spirit to reach all nations with the gospel, regardless of criticism or rejection.
