Breaking Out of the "In" Group

Monday, September 19, 2011

It's a powerful story from the days of Elisha, an Old Testament prophet. The Syrians, have laid siege to Samaria, Israel's northern capital, cutting off its food supply. When starvation begins to turn the people into dry sticks, four lepers decide to turn themselves over to the enemy. The worst that could happen is that they will kill them, but they might just give them something to eat. They arrive at the Syrian Camp and get the surprise of their lives. There's enough food and supplies for thousands, but no soldiers in sight. The four lepers begin to gorge themselves on the food, but then they remember the starving people back in the city. They return and share the good news. Today's message from Acts 10 faces us with the question facing the lepers: ”Will we gorge ourselves on Christ's forgiveness through Calvary or will we break out of our 'in' group and share the incredible news?”

This message references: Acts 10

About Dave Wyrtzen

Above everything else Dave Wyrtzen is a pastor-teacher. In 1973 he sat together with about sixteen others in a small town thirty miles southwest of Dallas. These sixteen wanted someone to simply open up the pages of Scripture on a Sunday morning, help them to hear the truth, and then train them on how to live it in the marketplace. Dave is still their pastor-teacher and Midlothian Bible Church has grown into a mature church.The Spirit of God has used this church family to generate several other churches in the southwest section of Dallas.

He received both his Th M and Th D from Dallas Seminary and is an adjunct faculty member for the Seminary. Dave speaks regularly for Bible Conferences and in many foreign countries. Dave's greatest joy is his wife, Mary, their eight children (counting spouses) and eight grandkids. His life goal is to communicate God's truth through the power of the Spirit in practical, and skillful ways. Since 1973 Dave has faithfully pastored in Midlothian and through Truth Encounter we invite you to join us for his unique depth, passion, and practicality. This Bible teaching is rooted in solid study but lives in the office, classroom, and ball field.
