Because Jesus has all the authority, we can be discipled and make disicples,

The Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20) The great slogan of John A. Mott, “the evangelization of the world in this generation,” is a noble slogan. The Great Commission is not about decisions. The Great Commission is not about evangelism. The Great Commission is about disciples. To “teach” means to make…

Last Sunday, I began a series of messages on The Great Commission. Southern Baptists, well over 100 years ago, decided that the Season of Advent was the very best time to promote missions giving. It was Lottie Moon herself who suggested that we take up an offering at Christmas. The offering was officially…

I believe in the Church evangelizing. I believe that, because our Savior gave His church a commission – a Great Commission. The dictionary defines a commission as the act of granting certain powers of authority to carry out a particular task or duty. Jesus has authorized us to preach the gospel and share…

El mensaje que Dios respalda con poder es el del Evangelio y el agente que da el poder es el Espiritu Santo, estos juntos conforman un testimonio poderoso para salvar el pecador.

How can we accomplish our mission for the Lord? 1. With a strong commitment to spread the Word of God (vs. 5-7). 2. With strong courage to face our opposition (vs. 6-8). 3. With strong confidence in our God (vs. 9-12).

Our mission is to be ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ, faithfully presenting him and his message to the world.

This sermon recaps the Marching Orders series up to this point. The goal is that we can apply the messages and not forget what we have learned.

The first in a series of sermons about the great commission, highlighting the key points of the Great Commission to us all. In this sermon we examine what the authority of Jesus Christ means for us as human beings.

I pray that all of you have come prepared to be transformed by the power of God’s word. I also pray that even though Easter is over, you are still in awe of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior. You might have assumed that last week was our final look at the life of Jesus of Nazareth. But after Christ…

Introduction Being a Christian requires worship and work. It means coming in and going out, gathering and dispersing. We are to worship in the church and work outside the church. It’s time out for just coming to church. It’s time to be the church. It’s time to fulfill the mission of the church. This…

What moved thousands of souls to be saved and the early followers of Jesus to be so devoted to godly habits? It was more than just a knowledge of God - it was a holy fear of God! The Holy Spirit of God indwells believers with a holy fear of God that not only compels missional movement but empowers it!

Advent 2C: Uses RCL lectionary texts. Connects Isaiah/Malachi/John the Baptist "preparing the way" and "making the paths straight" with the second coming (Advent) of Christ and the mission of the Church. Meant as a 10-minute Eucharistic sermon.

What roles do each member perform as we labor together with God? What was the Limited Commission and the Great Commission? What should be our attitude toward the persecution that comes to us for following Christ?

The Gospel! The good news that Jesus wants all to hear and uses us to speak it so all can hear it. We have a command to obey, this morning we are looking at the proclaiming the Good News. (Great commission picture inserted here) The great commission is not the great suggestion. It is not the commission…

As we wrap up this series on understanding that we are all established in God’s Love, I want to spend some time on our last topic of sharing God’s love, our lives, as disciples should be about sharing our faith. To do this, we will use one of the most famous passages of scripture in all the Bible. If…

Jesus explains to His disciples how to be a fruit-bearing disciple through the parable of the sower and the seed.

This morning I want to do something maybe a little different. Though I have a couple Scripture texts studied and picked out I just want to preach in a way which reveals my heart for our church as we move into the future. I may not put many slides up on the screen, because I don’t want you to be distracted…

As Jesus sends out 70 disciples to prepare the way for Him, He instructs them how they should be going. On this side of His resurrection, Christians likewise have a Great Commission which calls for us to go, and Jesus' instructions give us rich insights into how to get going.
