Title: Mission God (3 of 4)
Series: Mission Possible
Author: Steve Jones
Text: Matthew 28:18-20
SERMON SUMMARY: God makes the mission possible. 1) God's Salvation (baptism), 2) God's Son (Jesus), 3) God's discipline (commands), 4) God's presence (Holy Spirit).
INTRODUCTION: Queen Elizabeth passed away in 2022. Dick Griffen was her personal protection officer for the last fourteen years of his career. He tells the story of accompanying the queen for a walk in the hills of Scotland where she had a holiday home, when they were approached by two American tourists (I can already sense your anticipation). The queen would always stop to say hello. They clearly had not recognized the queen. They were telling her where they had come from and where they were going next. Then the American gentleman said to the queen, "Where do YOU live?" She said, "I live in London, but I have a holiday home just on the other side of the hills." "How often do you come up to this part of Scotland?" She said, "I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so I've been coming for over 80 years." He said, "If you've been coming up her for over 80 years, you must have met the queen." She said, "Well, I haven't but Dick here meets her regularly." Then the man said to Dick, "What's she like?" Dick said, "She can be very cantankerous at times, but she has a wonderful sense of humor." Before he knew it, the American had come and put his arm around Dick Griffin, handed his phone to the queen, and asked if she would take his picture. Then Dick got them to stand with the queen and he took a picture of them. They never let on. The queen said to Dick, "I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those pictures to his friends in America." (YouTube Clip)
It's possible to be in the presence of royalty and not even know. We don't want to be oblivious to the presence and influence of OUR royalty, King Jesus, as we talk today about what makes the MISSION possible.
