"What are we to be doing today as a church?"
If you had to describe what the church does in one word what would that be?
I bet you we would have multiple different answers just in this room here this morning.
This should not be so because if we are going to function correctly we must know what we are to be doing today as a church.
This is seen in the secular world…
Starbucks= Coffee
Michelin= Tires
I’m lovin’ it= McDonald’s
Eat Fresh= Subway
So what word or phrase describes the church?
Lets look at to find out (READ SCRIPTURE)… I believe the one word or phrase that should describe the local church is Discleship or Disciple-Making.
*3 Truths about Disciple-making
We must realize Christ has all the power (16-18)
a.
His authority stretches over heaven and earth
i.
The phrase heaven and earth should sound familiar because that is the very first thing we learn about God in is that he is the creator and sustainer of both
ii.
The authority of earth was given to Adam as he named creatures and tended to the garden but he fell in Genesis chapter 3
1.
We should worship Him (17)
The very first thing the disciples did when they saw Christ was worship Him, in turn this should be our first response
2. We should hear Him (18-20)
He gave specific instructions and we should see this as a command and not a mere suggestion
TS: We have seen that Christ how all power not lets see that Christ has a plan
We must realize Christ has a plan (19-20a)
1.
We make disciples by going
2. We make disciples by baptizing
3. We make disciples by teaching
Making disciples is challenging so what are some strategies that can help us?
1.
We ourselves need to be discipled
a.
How many of you were like me and given a Bible and basically told cya when we need ya
b. 3 of out of 50 in Lawless’ class was discipled
2. We need to be outwardly focused
a. Want to know someone priorities look at their checkbook and calendar
b.
Where do you spend your time and money?
3. We need to have a plan
a. “If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time” – Zig Ziglar
4. We need to be devoted to discipleship and stay for the long haul
a.
The church has become a place to run to instead of a place to get rearmed for battle
i.
First century church reloaded to go back out into persecution
ii.
Paul mentions armor of God and spiritual warfare is certain
TS: We have seen that Christ how all power and we have seen that Christ has a plan now the third truth is that Christ makes a promise
We must realize Christ has a promise (20b)
III.
We must reaqlize that Christ makes a promise
1. Jesus is with us constantly
2. Jesus is with us continually
Jesus is with us:
1. Always- in this life
2. Unto the end of the world- after this life
Conclusion: People’s last words are important and usually carry a lot of weight and these are some of the last words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as He was preparing his disciples before his ascension.
The question is how seriously are me and you going to take His command.
This morning you are in 1 of 3 categories.
1.
You are lost this morning and need to repent of your sin and turn to Christ this morning and start being discipled
2.
You are a new believer or a mature believer (years being saved not physical age) and you need to take discipleship more seriously and you need to repent and start discipling today
3.
You are a disciple making disciple of the Lord Jesus Chris and you need to seek Him and pray for more wisdom and guidance as you bring and teach others for His Namesake.
Either way we all have something to pray about this morning so let me invite you to come up and pray this morning.
Pray for yourself, pray for your church, pray that God burdens you and everyone here into becoming better disciple makers for His Kingdom and His glory… and all of God’s children said AMEN!
