Jesus Is Worth It! Why You Should Be Willing to Lay Down Your Life for the Sake of the Gospel

Posted by deangonzales on November 26, 2009

Persecution1 Thanksgiving is often an occasion when we thank God for what he’s given us. But we often forget to thank God for the opportunities he gives us to “give up” what he’s given us. Not only has God given us life but he also calls us to give up our life for the sake of the gospel. This is a privilege and a blessing too often overlooked.

To remind you of this privilege and blessing, I’d like to encourage you to watch the brief video presentation entitled “Jesus Is Worth It,” which is produced by To Every Tribe ministries and features a word from its president, David Sitton. To Every Tribe is a parachurch ministry that exists to help local churches prepare and send missionaries to unreached places in the world. Its vision “is to bring the gospel to those hard-to-get-to places where the name of Jesus has never been heard so God will be worshiped by every tribe, language, and nation.” Pastor and writer John Piper has this to say about To Every Tribe ministries:

All I have read and heard and watched inclines me to rejoice over the vision and theology and mission of David Sitton. I thank God for his Christ-exalting, God-centered, Bible-based courage to focus his life and ministry on the unreached tribal peoples. Like no one else I know, David Sitton puts his body where his mouth is. The risks are high; the reward is overwhelming. I commend To Every Tribe Ministries for your support and involvement. May the Lord of glory spread his fame through all who partner with this ministry to make a name for Jesus among the nations.
