Just Go
Going into all the world and proclaiming the gospel is the first step in making disciples (Maybe this can be a “Missions Sunday” emphasis?) Being sent out is to live as missional witnesses into our vocation in the marketplace where we work and in the communities that we live in. Being a faithful witness (strong work ethic, honoring those in authority, joyful attitude) at work bridges the credibility gap that many lazy Christians experience. A Spirit-filled home (Galatians 5) and intentionally loving our neighbors are keys to going where the people are at.
Series Information
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is not the Great Suggestion or worse yet the Great Omission. Every Christ follower has been called to make disciples. There is no Plan B—there is no other way people can be saved except through hearing the word of Christ (Rom 10:9) as people are sent. This series will focus on an outward, life-on-life relationship of making disciples as a lifestyle. The thrust of the Great Commission is making disciples (imperative verb) and the rest of the action words (adverbial participles of manner) answer how we are to make disciples i.e. by GOing out to where the lost are at, BAPTIZING people into the triune God and TEACHING people to obey.
