CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE: Mike Burnard - Missed Opportunities: A Call to the Modern Church
Loading player...
Mike uses recent South African sports losses as a metaphor to deliver a urgent message to the global church. He argues that while losing is not a disgrace, consistently missing opportunities is a critical failure.
Drawing from Ephesians 5:16 and Colossians 4:5, which command believers to "make the most of every opportunity," Bernard explains that an opportunity (from the Latin oportu, meaning "open harbour") is a limited window to act. He then identifies two monumental modern events where he believes the church has collectively failed to seize its God-given opportunity.
