Just ONE

Super Bowl Sunday / Only one team can be world champions
Every NFL team at the beginning of the season has only one goal in mind. Win the Super Bowl!
As Christ follower, Coach Jesus gave us one goal.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Vs. 19: Go and make disciples of all nations
Go: As you go about your life / work
Make disciples: When a rabbi asked you to come follow me, it meant learn my ways of walking with God. It also means apprentice.
In most churches, the congregation pays the pastor to preach, win the lost, and build
up the saved—while the church members function as cheerleaders (if they are
enthusiastic) or spectators. - This verse is calling all Christ followers to get out of the stands at the Super Bowl, put on their pads, get on the field.
The priesthood of all believers is the idea that all believers in Christ are priests in their own right. This means that believers are called to:
Make spiritual sacrifices / Proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ / Participate in worship
All Nations: this can seem overwhelming
Population size of:
World: 8.025 billion / 2.4 billion declare they are Christians
North America: 386.61 million
America: 334.9 million
California: 38.9 million
Riverside County: 2.4 million
Riverside: 318,858 / 55% or 175,371 designated as “None” - no religious affiliation
“Aiming for everyone gets you no one.” - Tom Mercer
Church on The Hill’s primary focus: Just One
What is the one. The one person that God has placed or will place in your life for you to lead to the saving grace and a relationship with Jesus.
We must do whatever it takes to reach the lost, and it starts with Just ONE.

7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. - Jesus
Can you imagine what would it look like if every one who calls Church on The Hill their home church, and they asked God, “God, give me one person I could lead to Jesus”? How many lives could be change in one year?
