Ambassadors

At the birth of the Church, demon worship and human sacrifice covered every continent.

Then the Church advanced -- and the world changed. The Gospel of the Kingdom proved itself as the most powerful civilizational force in human history.

But in our generation, many have forgotten who we are.

Romans Chapter 1 describes a spiral of destruction that begins when a culture suppresses the truth. We can see that road clearly today. But there is an off-ramp -- and it is the Gospel.

The Church is not a bystander to cultural collapse. We are the answer God has sent. We are the Body of Christ, and where the Body shows up and holds the line, the spiral stops.

We are not waiting for a solution. We are the solution.

In this message, Pastor Robbie Patterson draws from the Book of Joel and 2 Timothy Chapter 2 to expose three types of men -- and Satan has two of them working for him.

➡️The passive man who retreats.

➡️The aggressive man who destroys.

But God is calling you to be something else entirely -- the assertive Kingdom man.

The Ambassador of Jesus Christ who advances the Gospel with purpose, authority, and love.

We are living inside Joel's prophecy right now. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and declared, This is what Joel was talking about.

The Spirit was poured out, the Church was born, and the advance began. Joel's next chapter maps the spiritual warfare that followed -- the same warfare Jesus described, the same battle laid out in the letters to the churches.

That war is still being fought. And we are in the middle of it.

Darkness was defeated at the cross.

The mission was not retired -- it was launched.

People are waking up across America.

Joel said it -- beat your plowshares into swords. This is our window. Before the King returns to fully establish His reign, we are called to live as His ambassadors in a fallen world.

Not passive.

Not reckless.

➡️Assertive. Purposeful. Unashamed.

That is not a burden. It is an honor.

It's time to be an Ambassador.
