In this message, we are reminded through the life of William Wilberforce that Christ calls us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16).

Christ’s Commands in Action: John and Betty Stam

Christ’s Commands in Action: William Borden
In William Borden’s short, bright life we see Christ’s call to lay up treasures in heaven: though wealthy, admired, and full of opportunity, he chose surrender, loved the overlooked, poured himself into gospel work, and gave generously for missions.

Christ’s Commands in Action: Oswald Chambers
In Oswald Chambers we see a life of unconditional surrender—saved under Spurgeon’s preaching, yielded beyond his own plans, and shaped by long, hidden hours with God that fueled his public usefulness.
