In some of his last words, in Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus gave a clear mission to his disciples: to make more disciples of all people groups until the end of the age. As it is easy for the church to get distracted from our mission by many other good activities, Jesus’ words refocus us and send us out. Today’s sermon reviews not only what our mission is but also ways we can accomplish it in our daily lives.
Although many Jews did not believe the gospel and many non-Jews did, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Christians need to learn to speak with joy, listen with discernment, and grow in grace.
During a time of peace, God built up his church through the preaching of his word and powerful signs.
