Make Disciples not Decisions!
Make Disciples not Decisions! Matthew 28:16-20 V.18 ‘All Authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me, therefore…’ This is our authority! Main Point: The Risen Jesus’ last command is our great commission: He authorizes us to be and make disciples of Him until the end of the age. ‘Make disciples’ = to make into a disciple, a learner - one who committed his life to a teacher to follow and learn. Luke 9:23-26 We are to make disciples: 1. By ‘going’ and in our ‘going’ Verse 19a Acts 5:41-42 Acts 13:1-3 By ‘Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.’ Verse 19b Acts 2:38-29 By ‘Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.' Verse 20 He is with us always to the end of The age!
