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.
While the Old Testament is still valid, we also have the message of the one who was raised from the dead.
If we invest in making disciples, our lives become bound up with theirs to die and live together.
In a surprising parable, Jesus taught his disciples to be shrewd in our money management to produce eternal benefits.
