GO! Share Your New Life

Suppose  one day at work your boss came up to you and said to you “go.”  "Go?" "Yes, go."  If you boss told you to go, you would need some clarity, some specificity.  Go where?  Go when? Go why?  Good questions, because how can you go unless you know where you’re going, when you’re going, and why you’re going?  If you boss said “go,” there would be additional, and important, information that you would need in order to commence the mission that your boss was sending you on.

In Matthew chapter 28, after Jesus rose from the grave, He met with His disciples in Galilee one last time, and He gave them a mission.  In verse nineteen Jesus told the disciples “Go.” But Jesus didn't stop there. He gave them the additional, and important information that they needed to commence the mission.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matt 28:19-20)

This Sunday we’ll be looking closely at this mission that Jesus gave to the disciples, because in truth, Jesus didn't just give that mission to the eleven disciples.  Jesus gave that mission to all disciples. If you are a disciple, otherwise known as a “Christian,” then Jesus was also speaking to you!  From that moment forward, every follower of Jesus Christ has a mission, directly from the Lord Jesus Christ, to GO.

Join us this Sunday, at 9:30 & 11:30 (new times), as we conclude our “Dawn of New Life” series: Chapter 4 – GO!  Share your new life.

...till the whole world hears,

Pastor Clay
