LYC Witnessing

Who in here has been changed by the Lord Jesus Christ?

Who watched the Superbowl?

What was the objective for both teams?

Who wanted to win more?

Christ didn’t save our lives so that we could sit on the bench. Christ saved our lives to get in the game.

Jesus charges/commands us to do 2 things in Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew 28:19–20 (NLT)

Therefore, GO and MAKE disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. TEACH these new disciples to obey all the COMMANDS I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

GO & MAKE disciples

TEACH them to OBEY my commands.

Matthew 9:35–38 NLT

Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

Matthew 28:19 NLT

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

John 13:34 NLT

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

John 14:6–7 NLT

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”

John 14:11 NLT

Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.

If Jesus has changed our hearts then we will move our lives toward our charge:

Going and Making

Baptizing

What do we need to do?

Pray
