The Great Commission
In His last words to His disciples, Jesus gave them a divine order that has been carried out throughout history and continues to shape Christian purpose and outreach.
We’ll talk about the deep meaning of the Great Commission, which tells Christians to accept their part in carrying out God’s plan to save the world.
Going Into All The World
The call to “go into all the world” is urgent and has a purpose. It forces Christians to leave the safety and comfort of their own homes and join God’s kingdom work in the whole world.
It’s a call to go on a journey of faith and obedience, believing that the Holy Spirit will lead us as we go into unknown areas to preach the gospel.
