In this sermon from Romans 15:14-21, Pastor Jared Richard challenges Bay Leaf Baptist Church to continue the legacy of global missions exemplified by both the Apostle Paul and William Carey. Pastor Richard reminds us that while Christianity is growing globally with nearly 3 billion Christians alive today, approximately 5 billion people remain unreached, with less than 2% of their population knowing Christ. The sermon coincides with the commissioning of a missionary family from Bay Leaf, emphasizing that God's promise in Isaiah 52 that "those who have never been told of him will see" is still being fulfilled today.
Paul's ministry demonstrates three principles we should follow: expecting great things from our great God, attempting great things for His glory, and watching God do great things through our obedience. Like William Carey who said, "I will go down if you'll hold the rope," we all have a part to play in global missions—some by going to the nations and others by supporting through prayer, encouragement, and financial giving. The Great Commission wasn't a suggestion but a command that requires our collective commitment.
