In this message, Josh Davis outlines the biblical motivations for gospel ministry and missionary work through an exposition of 2 Corinthians 5:11–6:2. The sermon breaks down three key aspects of our call as believers:
-
Motivated by Fear and Love (2 Cor 5:11–15): Understanding how awe and reverence for Christ's holiness, paired with His propitiatory sacrifice, compel us to share the gospel.
-
Proclaiming the New Birth (2 Cor 5:16–19): What it means to become a new creation, disown the former self, take up the cross daily, and share the gospel message.
-
Ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor 5:20–6:2): The urgency of our commission to carry God’s message of reconciliation to a lost world.
The video also includes an update on the mission field in El Paso, Texas—a city of over one million people where an estimated 90% are unreached—and the commissioning strategy for planting Borderlands Family Baptist Church.
