Last month, I had the great privilege to preach to the brothers and sisters who identify themselves as First Baptist Church of Powell, Tennessee. Each year, they host World Missions Celebration; it was an honor to preach on Friday evening. I am so thankful for these men and women and how they are intentionally and sacrificially praying, giving, and going to the nations–across the street in Knoxville, Tennessee, and across the world. It was a blessing meet several of their members. I greatly appreciated the hospitality and new friendships with Phil Jones and Tim McGhee.
My message was titled, “Being a Light to the Nations.” The text was Psalm 67:
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!
(Psalm 67 ESV)
In this post, I want to share this message with you. It is at SermonAudio, or you may listen/download at the embedded player below. God has blessed us–may we be a blessing by making Him known among the peoples of the world.
