I Have a New Job

This powerful message confronts us with an urgent reality: we have work to do. Drawing from Acts 9 and the dramatic conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus, we're challenged to examine whether we're truly doing the work God has called us to or merely going through religious motions. Just as Saul thought he was serving God while persecuting believers, we can find ourselves in church buildings, singing songs, and attending services without actually impacting lives for Christ. The sermon draws a sobering parallel between Saul's persecution and modern-day injustices—from ICE raids to systemic oppression—reminding us that evil takes different forms across generations, but the call to stand for righteousness remains constant. The central question pierces through our comfort: when was the last time we led someone to Christ? When did we last allow the Holy Spirit to work through us to save a soul? We're reminded that salvation isn't just about securing our own heavenly destination; it's about becoming vessels through which God rescues others. The work isn't optional, and it requires more than Sunday attendance—it demands daily engagement with God's Word, accountability with fellow believers, and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones. This message calls us from complacency to action, from spectators to participants in the greatest mission ever given.
