International Discipleship 2022

International Discipleship 2022

Missions Week

Review:

Jesus tells His disciples the scope of their ministry mission.

Acts 1:8 (NIV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Jesus tells His disciples what they will do with their ministry and how they will do it.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority 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.”

How the disciples would have heard the Great Commission.

● All Authority –
● Therefore go –
● Make disciples –
● Of all the nations –
● Baptizing them –
● Teaching them to obey –
● Commands –
● I am with you always –

How we are to live out the Great Commission.

● Using the same message, the same model and methods of Jesus.
● The historical message is vital.
● We live the Great Commission out in each of our spheres.
● Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and outer ends of the earth.
● “We will reach the world for Jesus one person at a time”
