Episode Synopsis

In this stirring and honest message, Pastor Jerry McCamey asks a challenging question: Is the church fulfilling the Great Commission? By drawing attention to the gap between global births and daily conversions—a shortfall of over 300,000 souls per day—McCamey argues that the church has been gradually diverted from its primary mission.

He unpacks this failure by exploring three key principles necessary to reverse the trend, emphasizing that the solution will not come from "Madison Avenue" techniques or new denominational programs, but from a return to biblical foundations and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Key Points from the Message:

-- The Great Commission is not about having good church services. These activities are beneficial, but they are not the primary, unchanging mandate given to the church. -- The problem is the "deceptiveness of the gradual." The church did not intentionally abandon its mission, but was subtly drawn away by focusing on "church games" and internal activities. -- Size is not everything. McCamey tackles the modern church's obsession with the huge and colossal, quoting Scripture to remind us that "there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few." -- We must have expectancy in our faith and prayer. Like the early church praying for Peter, we often lack the anticipation that God will actually do what we've asked Him to do. -- Soul-winning is the responsibility of every Christian. Pastors are shepherds, not birth-givers. The work belongs to every believer who is in "full-time ministry" regardless of their profession. -- The answer is a Divine Equation based on multiplication, not addition. McCamey illustrates how bringing "one person next week" (Operation Andrew) can double the church, while the Bible promises that one can chase a thousand, and two can put ten thousand to flight.
