William Carey
I’m not afraid of failure; I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.
You can reduce the Great Commission down to two words, make disciples.
II.
The Cause of our Mission is Christ’s Authority.
Christ’s universal authority is the basis for our universal mission.
The Great Commission promises a great provision.
1.
We are promised the power of Christ.
2. We are promised the presence of Christ.
III.
The Components of our Mission are Threefold.
a.
We make disciples by going.
Go is actually a participle and it modifies the verb “Make Disciples”
The emphasis is that - While we Go - we are to be making disciples.
William Carey Stated “Every Christian should live with an open bible and an open map.”
“Every Christian should live with an open bible and an open map.”
A Growing Christian is a going Christian.
Spurgeon Said,
“Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.”
b.
We make disciples by baptising.
Father - Son - Spirit!
As a public commitment to Christ!
This is a public profession of faith.
c.
We make disciples by teaching.
Everything - the point of Christianity is not to simply get into heaven - the point of Christianity is to be like Christ.
