The Mission Mandate

Jesus' instruction to the church is clear - make disciples! It is the over-arching directive for the Church. Techniques to build the Church about in our day. Yet Jesus gives three key truths for how this task is to be accomplished. We are to rest in His authority, trust in His method, and bank on His promise to provide. Becoming a disciple of Jesus is a call to leave everything and enter a life of risk. Yet, ironically, it is the only enterprise Jesus has promised to bless. The goal of this sermon is to help every Christian understand they are a missionary, which necessarily involves an intentional reorientation of their entire life for the purpose of faithful mission.
