Why on Earth am I here?



 
God knows exactly what on earth he is doing
 
Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
 
God clearly knows what still needs done
 
Matthew 9:35 -38
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
 
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
 
God knows the solution
 
Matthew 9:35 -38
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

“The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.”  ― E.M. Bounds
 
“Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.”  – John Wesley
 
A kingdom man is the kind of man that when his feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, “Oh crap, he’s up!” – Tony Evans
 
2 Timothy 4:1-2
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word  be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
 
Jeremiah 1:9-10
“O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”  The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.
 
Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Grant is our resident farmboy. He grew up in the cornfields of northwest Nebraska. He spent his early days living far from God. As Grant says, "I gave God the middle finger and didn't really care about faith at all." As a young man, he became convinced that God was real. He gave his life to Jesus and experienced God's amazing grace that previously made no sense to him. After experiencing that grace, Grant felt God calling him to teach the message of the gospel. Over the past 20 years, he has been preaching and teaching. Grant, his wife, Bethany, and their four children moved to Michigan in 2011, and he joined the 2|42 team in 2019. Grant is always good for a laugh, but more importantly, he explains biblical concepts in ways anyone can understand.
