Sent out as Sheep Among Wolves

Aug 31, 2025    Pastor William Parsons

In our spiritual journey, we're called to be 'sheep among wolves' - a challenging but transformative mission. Drawing from Matthew 10, Pastor Will explores Jesus' guidance on navigating a world that may oppose our faith. We're instructed to be 'wise as serpents and harmless as doves,' a powerful metaphor for discernment and gentleness in our Christian walk. This wisdom calls us to avoid compromising situations while maintaining a non-threatening presence. The message reminds us that persecution may come, but our focus should remain on God, who values us more than sparrows. By confessing our faith boldly yet lovingly, we're promised Christ's advocacy before the Father. Pastor Will challenges us to live out our faith authentically, transforming 'wolves' through Christ's love, even in the face of adversity.
