The Church Sent - Blueprint Series

In this sermon, Ridley Barron preached about the critical importance of promptly obeying God's call and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He emphasized that every believer is called to serve the body of Christ in various capacities, using biblical figures such as Abram, Moses, and Joshua to illustrate obedience to God without knowing the full story. Through personal testimony and examples from Scripture, Barron highlighted the life-changing impact of listening to the Holy Spirit's voice, the need for the church to focus on sending out its best, and the ultimate purpose of bringing glory to God. He encouraged listeners to build a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, be prepared to hear God's voice, and live boldly in their faith, rather than settling for comfort or entertainment within the church.
