The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, 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, NIV)

• Lost people matter to God.  He wants them found (Luke 19:10).
  
• Prayer is the primary work of God's people (Philippians 4:6-7).
  
• Everything we have belongs to God.  We are only his stewards (I Chronicles 29:14).
  
• Knowing and obeying God's Word is fundamental to all true success (Joshua 1:8).
  
• Completing the Great Commission will require the mobilization of every fully devoted disciple (Matthew 28:19).
  
• Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can accomplish nothing (I Corinthians 2:4-5).
  
• Achieving God's purposes involves taking faith-filled risks.  This always involves change (Hebrews 11:6).
