Jesus doesn't need you to
go on a mission trip.
I know that
that kind of sounds crazy. Umm...
just saying that
we are going to dive
into what
we actually mean by that saying,
in today's video.
Hi Guys, my name is Chris.

It definitely helps us out
with being able
to share the gospel
and help you guys ummm
with your life on mission.
And yeah, let's
go ahead and dive into it.
I’m a Barbie Girl,
why do I have that song
stuck in my head? That's so weird.
So, guys, what we mean by
Jesus doesn't
need you to go on a mission
trip is the fact that
Jesus can use you right now
where you're at.
You don't have to go somewhere.
You don't have to
go on a big missions trip.
You don't have to
go speak at a conference.
You don't have to do anything big.
He can use you in your daily life
where you're at.
You don't have to prepare
your entire life
to speak at a huge event
and then just be done.
Like, man,
I wish that Christianity sometimes
was that way
because it would make it easy,
because it is so difficult sometimes
going about your daily life
and trying to love on people
and trying to
minister to people
in your daily life.
Like there's
some family members
that man, I pray for that God,
I need help loving them
and same with my friends,
because it is tough sometimes.
Sometimes I just want to be angry
with them or upset with them.
And that's not
what being a Christian is like.
And so Jesus wants to
mould your heart
and grow your heart to love first
and to minister
out of the heart of him.
I want to read Mark
chapter six, verse five,
and it says Now he could do
no mighty work there,
except that he laid his hands
on a few sick people
and healed them.
And he marveled
because of their unbelief.
Then he went about the village
in a circuit teaching.
And so Jesus was in this town
and was preaching, ministering
and saw a few healings.
Didn't see anything
big or massive
because people didn't believe.
They didn't have faith in him.
That didn't make him turn away
and leave to go on
a different missions
trip, to go into a different town.
No, that actually fueled him
to want to
see these people
to know the true God.
Know God’s heart.
Know that he wants them healed whole
and wants to
to love on them and just hold them.
He continued to minister
in that town.
A lot of us
think that life is so difficult
where we're at,
where we just kind of
take it all on ourselves, rather
than allowing the Holy Spirit
and God to touch our hearts,
to be able to minister
to the people
that nobody else can really touch.
You have
the ability
to impact
someone that nobody else can.
And whether
that is seeing them saved
or just ministering to them
out of love
and out of action of love.
There's a lot of people
that are hurt and angry at God.
Sometimes they just need a seed
planted of a hug or doing the dishes
or the laundry,
and that plants a seed of man.
There's something different
about this person
compared to who they used to be.
And so for me, in my hometown,
I have a lot of people
that do not like me
because growing up,
I was a completely different person.
And when I went to Bible college,
people started rumors about me
saying that I did things
and what not
that I never actually did.
They just wanted to spread
rumors and gossip about me.
Moving back here, I
kind of
shunned the town
like I didn't
want anything to do with it
because I knew nobody liked me.
Everybody hated me.
And so it was just kind of like,
Man, God, how can I
stay in this town
and be used in this town
when nobody loves me?
Nobody likes me.
And so,
but there's a lot of people
that feel like they aren't loved.
They think that God doesn't
love them
because nobody treats them that way.
And so, I wasn't treated that way.
But God calls us higher than that.
He wants us to love first.
And so I'm having to now.
Anytime I see people that I know
don't like me,
I have to love them
instead of being angry
at them
or upset with them and whatnot.
And so it is very difficult,
but man, God wants to meet you
where you're at
and help you in your walk
in your life on mission.
Being able to impact people's hearts
and nobody else can.
And so, guys,
