Soul Power 830am 7/3/16

Sermon text:  Matthew 9:37b, 38 - , “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Sermon Title:  Soul Power
Point 1:  Possess and spread the power. Matt 10:1,7-8 - Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 
Point 2:  Don't get caught up in your personal baggage  Matt 10:9-10 - 9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts— 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.
Point 3:  Don't take rejection personal  Matt 10:14 - 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.  Luke 10: 16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Point 4:  Pursue souls with wisdom and passionMatt 10: 16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves
Point 5: Receive your prize  Matt 10: 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
