I. Introduction
“Picture yourself having lunch with the Lord today. Just imagine that He invited you to join him, and as you sit across from Him at that table set for two, he slides a piece of paper toward you. Imagine Him looking into your eyes and saying, ‘I know you love me more than anybody else in your life. I know this because of your actions and your attitudes. Here—I’ve made a list of all the ways you show that I am your highest priority.’ Your eyes fall to the slip of paper He’s pushing toward you. And now I ask you. What’s on the list?”
- Mark Bailey

Matthew 28:16-20 “16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.””

“I am with you”
”All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them… Oh! beloved friends, if there is a living God, faithful and true, let us hold His faithfulness.”
- Hudson Taylor
5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” 6 so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”
6 “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.”
“the Holy Spirit”
7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
