Why the Crowds Followed Jesus

Feb 1, 2026  •  The Rev. Dr. Terry Moore

How did crowds begin following Jesus long before social media, news outlets, or mass communication?


In this sermon, Pastor Terry reflects on Matthew 4 and the early days of Jesus’ ministry, when people from Galilee, Judea, Syria, and beyond were drawn to Him. Pastor Terry explores how the message about Jesus spread so quickly—not through strategy or technology, but through ordinary people who had experienced Jesus and couldn’t help but share what He had done in their lives.


This message invites us to reflect on how Jesus continues to draw people today. Pastor Terry encourages the church to share faith in simple, honest ways—through conversation, invitation, and everyday presence. When we tell others what Jesus has done in our lives and create space for them to encounter Him, God uses those moments to change hearts and draw people closer to Himself.
