Things You May Hear Just Before Unemployment

*I don't know what we'll do without you, but we are going to try!

*We told everyone you are leaving because of illness. The truth is
I'm sick of you.

*Its not that you aren't a responsible worker. In fact, you've been
responsible for more disasters than any one else in the place.

*Today I'm going to mix business with pleasure. You're fired!

*I've got good news for you. You won't have to worry about being
late for work ever again.

*Tell me - how long have you been with us not counting tomorrow?

December 22, 1808
In a 4-hour long concert, German composer Ludwig van Beethoven
premiered some of his most famous compositions, including the Fifth
and Sixth Symphonies, in Vienna. The length of the concert and the
cold weather, however, prevented the audience from fully appreciating
the exquisite classical music.
 

"Your Position in the Big Game"
1 Corinthians 3:5

It was enough to shut a girl up for years to come - when it
comes to talking about her relationship with Jesus, that is. One day
in high school, God laid it on my wife's heart - who, of course,
wasn't my wife yet - to share Christ with one of her fellow band
members. Roger was a drummer. In my experience, drummers are usually
cut from a little different piece of cloth than everybody else, and
Roger was no exception. He was a wild and crazy guy with a mouth to
match. But one day my wife got up the courage to rise above her
shyness and tell him about her Savior. Roger didn't exactly fall to
his knees in the band room and repent. In fact, he said, "Well, if
you're going to heaven, I want to go to the other place!"

Years later, my wife and I were visiting a church where the
pastor introduced us during the service. Afterwards, the man who had
been sitting behind us said to my honey, "I've been hoping for years
that I'd get to see you and tell you what happened." It was Roger and
his wife. He said, "I know I blew you off that day you tried to tell
me about Jesus, but you were the first person who ever did that.
Later a couple of others did the same thing, and I finally gave my
heart to Christ." Needless to say, it was one of those spiritual
"Kodak moments." Roger went on to tell about working on a Christian
radio station and even pastoring a church. Today, Roger - the one who
nuked a girl who tried to tell him about Jesus - is working on our
staff, helping us tell the world about Jesus.

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today
about "Your Position in the Big Game."

Roger's story is the story of so many who have changed their
eternal address from hell to heaven. They didn't find Christ through
one exposure to Him, but through a string of faithful witnesses who
sowed the seed of the Gospel in their heart. One day, the harvest
came because of those who sowed the Gospel, those who watered the
Gospel, and then someone who recognized that it was time to harvest the Gospel.

God has placed you as His designated ambassador in the lives of
the people in your personal world. Here's how the great rescue plan
of God works, as revealed in 1 Corinthians 3, beginning with verse 5,
our word for today from the Word of God. "What, after all, is
Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to
believe - as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the
seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow ... The man who plants
and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded
according to his labor. For we are God's fellow workers..."

Do you realize how important you are in the life-saving plan of
God? He's invited you to work side by side with Him in His harvesting
of lives for heaven! In one life, you may be the one who sows the
first thoughts a person has about Jesus - as my wife did in Roger's
life. For another person, you may be the one who unknowingly builds
on seed someone else sowed to bring them closer to Jesus. For someone
else, you'll be the one God puts there when the other seed sown in
their life is ready to be harvested and they're ready for Jesus. As
you ask the Holy Spirit to show you what part He wants you to play
and where that person is in the process of coming to Him, He'll give
you the opening, the courage, the approach, and the words if you ask Him to.

You can never judge the final result of your witness by the
immediate response. It's God who provides the seed, it's God who
miraculously grows that seed into a heart that's ready for Jesus. But
He's counting on you to sow His seed, water His seed, harvest His seed.

There's only one way you can fail in sharing Christ and that's
if you don't do it! Your mission is to leave each lost person God
leads you to closer to Jesus than they were before; knowing more
about what He did for them than they did before. God has an amazing
plan for the spiritual rescue of every lost person you know and He's
asking you to join Him in it. Don't miss the most important thing you
will ever do in your life!
