18 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.”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
Mark 16:15 (NIV)
Knowing how great God’s love is for all mankind, we should want others to know about His great love. As a church, we use multiple worship services to tell others about this good news. (To see our schedule of traditional and blended worship services, click here.)
We also intentionally reach out to others through various ministries and events throughout the year. We also send regular support to colleges, ministries and missionaries who are involved in reaching people for Jesus Christ. (to see who we support click on this link: colleges, ministries, missionaries)
According to Jesus’ command, the corporate church is not the only one that should make this commitment. Each individual who has received and responded to the grace and love of Christ should also GO and make disciples. We need to make an intentional effort to obey Christ's desire by establishing relationships with those who need to know about Jesus and share His love and grace with them. We also need to pray for and be aware of opportunities that Christ provides for us to tell others about His love and grace.
