Standing Between the Dead and the Living
Embracing Urgency, Compassion, and Sacrificial Mission in the Last Days
Guest speaker Greg Owens (Assemblies of God missionary to South Africa) brings a powerful challenge from Numbers 16:41–50, examining the moment Aaron ran into the midst of a devastating plague to stand between the dead and the living. Drawing parallels to our world today, Greg highlights the urgent call for believers to step into the spiritual battle for souls both locally and globally. Key insights include:
Understanding Proper Punishment: Realizing the reality of sin's weight and celebrating what Christ saved us from.
Keeping Proper Perspective: Loving people despite how they treat us, extending grace even to those who are difficult to love (our "Samaria").
Moving at Proper Pace: Running with urgency to reach those who are spiritually perishing.
Trusting the Perfect Plan: Stepping out into the gap to point the unreached to Jesus Christ.
Concluding with the inspiring testimony of a martyred African pastor, this message calls the church to drop low living, tame vision, and cheap commitment in order to fully surrender everything at the feet of Jesus.
