I Have a Testimony

Posted on 19 Nov 2018, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

What I just read is the personal testimony of Charles Spurgeon. The thin looking, “below average stature and poor physical health” man who led him to Christ was Robert Eaglen. While Robert often did not have the physical strength to stand at the pulpit God used his words to etch awareness, repentance and belief into the soul of one of the greatest preachers of his time! I love this story because it exemplifies the truth that God often chooses the weak to proclaim the Gospel message. In reverence we are to be ready to give reasons for the hope we have in Jesus Christ to all who will listen. Even with the Great Commission ringing in our ears and our eyes gazing at the ripe fields all around us we let our laziness, sense of unworthiness, lack of compassion, lack of love and lack of faith keep us from speaking what God has etched upon our very hearts! Today’s sermon is going to look at John 4:27-40 and conclude that those who obey the command and privilege to plant seeds of righteousness in His kingdom will receive a bountiful harvest either in this lifetime or the next!
