- 0:00Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:02Huddle for May 19, 2025. Your two-minute
- 0:04play of the day for applying God's word
- 0:07in your life. So, let's huddle up. And
- 0:09here today's play from Acts 20, which
- 0:12says, "I consider my life worth nothing
- 0:14to me. My only aim is to finish the race
- 0:17and complete the task the Lord Jesus has
- 0:20given me, the task of testifying to the
- 0:22good news of God's grace. If the great
- 0:26commission is not the mission of every
- 0:27Christian, then what is its mission? Why
- 0:30has God not taken us to heaven
- 0:32immediately upon our conversion if not
- 0:35to go and make disciples through
- 0:36evangelism leading to baptism and
- 0:39disciplehip leading to obedience to
- 0:41everything Jesus has commanded?
- 0:43Certainly, we are all to love God with
- 0:46all of our heart, soul, mind, and
- 0:47strength. Jesus loved the God the Father
- 0:50in this manner by seeking and saving the
- 0:53lost and then offering himself as a
- 0:55human sacrifice necessary for all humans
- 0:58to be reconciled to God. If we love God
- 1:01the most, then reconciling people who
- 1:04otherwise remain estranged from him to
- 1:06him seems the most loving way to
- 1:08demonstrate our love for God just as it
- 1:11was for Jesus. Likewise, we are to love
- 1:14our neighbors as we love ourselves. What
- 1:16greater love can we express to our
- 1:18neighbor than reconciling our neighbor
- 1:20to Christ by faith? Otherwise, they
- 1:23remain condemned forever to suffer
- 1:25eternity in the fires of hell. What is
- 1:28necessary for obedience to the great
- 1:30commission? We need the willingness to
- 1:33take up our cross and deny ourselves so
- 1:35that man's opinion means nothing, but
- 1:37God's opinion means everything. In this
- 1:40way, we will share Christ though mocked.
- 1:42We will obey Christ, though maligned,
- 1:44and we will serve Christ, though
- 1:46humiliated. When we care more about
- 1:48ourselves than what others think of us,
- 1:50we will remain fruitless. Society will
- 1:53continue to be defiant toward God, and
- 1:55we will risk jeopardizing our very souls
- 1:58because we love ourselves more than God.
- 2:01The great commission is the mission of
- 2:03every Christian. The fields are right,
- 2:05but the laborers are few. It's time to
- 2:08love God most by loving our neighbor
- 2:10through sharing the gospel and
- 2:11discipling the saved.
