In this powerful installment of 'Why We Must Reach the Lost — Part III,' Pastor Terry Drost delivers a stirring call to evangelism rooted in the biblical narrative of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Drawing from Luke 19, he emphasizes that Jesus' arrival was not a random event but a divine mission to seek and save the lost—those broken, rejected, and spiritually far from God. Drost challenges listeners to move beyond religious ritual and performative worship, urging them to embody Christ’s compassion by actively reaching out to people unlike themselves. He highlights the heartbreaking contrast between the crowd’s exuberant praise and their eventual rejection of Jesus, warning the church today not to celebrate Christ without embracing His mission. The sermon culminates in a passionate appeal for personal accountability: 'Who have you led to Christ lately?' Drost underscores that every believer is a vessel of God’s presence, called not to perfection but to willingness, and that the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people to carry the gospel into a dark world.
Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was intentional and mission-driven, not just a parade.
The church must move beyond celebration to active evangelism and discipleship.
We are called to weep over the lost, not just criticize them, reflecting Christ’s compassion.
The world is spiritually desperate—people are screaming for hope, not judgment.
You don’t need to be perfect to share the gospel; you only need to be willing.
