We learn to follow Jesus one step at a time
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority (control, dominion, power) in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
1. You have to be a disciple to make a disciple
2.You should feel a deep sense of purpose for your life
3) The Mission of God is global, and it’s local
Unreached People Groups (Less than 2% Evangelical Christian)
7,283 People Groups - 4.6 Billion People
Unreached / Unengaged (No Church Planting Strategy)
3,126 People Groups - 271 Million People
4) We’re after disciples, not just decisions
5) The Authority and Presence of Jesus give us confidence for the mission
13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13-14
