你是否经历过上帝要你做更多的事？你是否觉得自己不配或能力不足呢？当耶稣委托门徒传福音时，这可能正是他们的感觉。

在这个视频中，魏泰德牧师讲述了通过植堂方式接触世人。

在马太福音10章5到8节，耶稣差遣祂的门徒出去传道。“外邦人的路，你们不要走；撒玛利亚人的城，你们不要进。宁可往以色列家迷失的羊那里去。随走随传，说：‘天国近了！’医治病人，叫死人复活，叫长大麻风的洁净，把鬼赶出去。你们白白地得来，也要白白地舍去。”(路10:5-8)

这一定让当时的门徒们觉得不知所措，因为他们知道这远远超出了他们有限的能力范围。

幸运的是，这一切耶稣都知道。因此，祂提供了他们所需要的一切。在马太福音第10章，“祂给他们权柄，能赶逐污鬼，并医治各样的病症。”(太10:1)当门徒们宣称耶稣的权柄时，他们就能做祂所要求的一切事情。

在我们这个时代，向世人传福音的使命可能极具挑战性。尤其是全球人口接近80亿，传福音的工作似乎不可能完成，特别是在限制或没有宗教自由的地区。此外，世俗主义掌控了大多数的国家。

与此同时，植堂（开办聚会点）已经不是新鲜事。事实上，植堂在早期的基督教会中很明显。例如，使徒保罗是最早的教会植堂者之一。他在土耳其建立了许多信徒小团体。他细心地牧养着他们，确保信徒们得到足够的属灵养分。

无论保罗走到哪里，他总是能从上帝那里得到希望的信息。传递上帝希望的信息太迫切了，他不能藏私。值得注意的是，早期教会就是这样发展壮大起来的。最终，他的精神遗产得以延续，为基督复临主义走向世界铺平了道路。

然而，尽管人口增长如此迅速，但仍有许多人未曾听过复临信息。例如，世界上有三分之一的人不认识耶稣。因此，主今天呼召我们去传福音。

向世人传福音并非不可能。《基督比喻实训》第333页说到：“当人的意志与上帝的旨意合作时，就必拥有无比的力量。凡奉祂的命令而行的事，都能靠着祂的大能完成。凡祂所吩咐的都必实现。”

问题是，你愿意回应上帝的呼召吗？

Have you ever experienced God asking you to do more than what you can? Have you felt unworthy or inadequate? It might have been the exact sentiment of Jesus’ disciples when He commissioned them for the gospel.

In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson tackles reaching the world through church planting.

In Matthew 10:5-8, Jesus sent His disciples out on a mission. “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand,’ heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”

It must have overwhelmed the disciples, knowing it was far beyond what they could do with their limited strength.

Fortunately, Jesus knew it. Hence, He provided everything they would need. In Matthew 10, “He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.” As the disciples claimed Jesus’ power, they were more than able to do all He asked them.

In our time now, reaching the world may be overwhelming. More so that its population is nearly 8 billion, the mission seems impossible, especially in areas with limited or no religious freedom. Besides, secularism has taken control of most countries.

Meanwhile, church planting is not something new. As a fact, it is evident in the early Christian church. For instance, Apostle Paul was one of the earliest church planters. He started small groups of believers in Turkey. He took good care of them, making sure they obtained enough nurturing.

Everywhere Paul went, he always had a message of hope from God. It was so urgent that he couldn’t keep it to himself. Significantly, this is how the early church grew and multiplied. Eventually, his legacy continued, paving the way for Adventism to reach the world.

Yet, despite this tremendous growth, many people still haven’t heard the Advent message. For instance, two-thirds of the world’s population don’t know Jesus. As such, the Lord is calling us today to go and preach.

To reach the world is not an impossible calling. Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 333, says, “As the will of man cooperates with the will of God, it becomes omnipotent. Whatever is to be done at His command may be accomplished in His strength.”

The question is, are you willing to answer God’s call?
