In this sermon, Kevin Swanson emphasizes the importance of fathers in leading and using their families for evangelism. He stresses the need for fathers to be sanctified by the Word and to have a passion for the Kingdom of God. Through this, fathers can extend the Kingdom of God through their families and hospitality.
Our Lord's last command is our first priority. In the church, in the family, in the city, to the ends of the earth. Join us in October for White Under Harvest. The man's got to be the leader. You know, this idea of sending your seven-year-old across the street to witness to an unsaved seven-year-old, Or the idea of sending a seven-year-old to a public school to witness to all these kids who don't know Christ is absurd.
This is the lack of fathers who are sanctified by the reading of the word themselves. They're not saturated in the word. They have no passion for the kingdom of God. Now if you have a man who's just passionate to see souls brought to a saving knowledge of Christ and the kingdom of God expanded in his lifetime, if that's why he's living his life, He's going to be extending that kingdom through his family and through the hospitality that his family engages in. He's going to be reaching out to the strangers.
He will evangelize.
