Hope Church Augusta

The world had written him off. Jesus crossed the sea to find him.

Today at Hope Church, we celebrated Father’s Day and welcomed special guest Cyrus Mad-Bondo. Cyrus shared from Mark 5 and reminded us that Jesus went looking for one man who everyone else had written off. Living among the tombs, bound by chains, and completely hopeless, this man mattered to Jesus.

After Jesus changed his life, the man begged to go with Him. Instead, Jesus gave him a mission: go home and tell people what the Lord has done for you. One transformed life became a testimony to many others.

We were challenged to remember that ministry is often messy, but God uses ordinary people who are willing to obey Him. The question is not whether God can use your life. The question is whether you are willing to say yes.

Who will come to know Jesus because you lived? What a powerful reminder that our mission is to make Christ known wherever He sends us.
