Great Commission Sunday, 22 June 2014
24 06 14 Filed in: Sermons | Great Commission Sunday
Big Idea: We are all called to make disciples.
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20)
We are on a mission. The church doesn’t have a mission. The mission has a church! The mission includes a commission—a command, an order, an assignment.
We exist to fulfill the Great Commission and follow the Great Commandment by
so that God is glorified.

We are all called to make disciples. How? Time, talents and treasures.
Time: pray, build relationships online and in person, serve our global missionaries
Talents: go overseas short-term or long-term, study, serve in and through Scio & C&MA
Treasures: give financially (offering later)
Please pray for recent Global Missions Conference guests:
- the Volstads
- the Hanscomes
- The Careys
Please also pray for the Burns family, transitioning from an overseas assignment to a domestic one.
