"The Mission "
Matthew 28:18 

 
Will we face God’s challenge?  

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  
So go and tell all the people and make disciples."
                                                                 Matthew 28:18  

Jesus says you go.  

“The field is large, but the workers are few.  So, pray to the 
Lord of the harvest that He will raise up workers who will go 
to the fields.”                                           Matthew 9:37  

What will it take?  It will take a heart for lost people.  

Assignment:
Learn the names of the people on your street.  

We are the messengers of God’s love and purposes to the
world.  

“God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come 
into His favor and be reconciled to Him.”
                                                                   2 Corinthians 5:18 LB

Telling others how God has touched your life is one of the greatest things you can do for people.  

To fulfill our mission will require that we embrace God’s
opportunities for our lives.  

“I’m not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it’s the power 
of God that leads to salvation for everyone who believes.” 
                                                                   Romans 1:16
