A Jesus Culture: We Will Do Anything Short of Sin to Reach People Far From God

Feb 15, 2026    Pastor Ezra Stanton

Some things in life are worth the inconvenience. You know it. You’ll meal

prep, budget, rearrange your whole week, and reset the Wi-Fi like your

salvation depends on it. But here’s the real question this message goes

after: what happens when you aim that same commitment at eternity?


In this sermon, we lay down a core value that will define our church: we will

do anything short of sin to reach people far from God. Not because it

sounds bold, but because it’s literally the mission of Jesus. And Matthew 28

makes it clear, this isn’t a suggestion for the extra committed. It’s the

assignment. Jesus sends His people with His authority, not their personality

or confidence. When Jesus sends you, Jesus backs you.


Then it gets uncomfortably practical. The mission isn’t only overseas. It’s as

you are going. Work. School. The gym. The grocery store. Your street. Your

normal life is the map. You’re not waiting on a perfect moment, you’re living

on mission in ordinary moments.


But the goal isn’t just getting someone to raise a hand. It’s making

disciples, real people learning Jesus, following Jesus, and growing into a

different kind of life.


This message ends with a simple challenge that can change everything:

who is your one? The person you’re going to pray for, notice, love, and

invite. Your job is obedience. God’s job is outcomes.
