On Mission

Matthew 28:16-20

Introduction

Being on mission with God means following Jesus’ final command.

1. Element of availability (v. 16)

Matthew 28:7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.

1 Corinthians 15:6-7 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

Quote: “The greatest ability is availability.”

2. Element of worship (v. 17)
3. Element of submission (v. 18)
4. Element of obedience (v. 19)

GOING: Wherever they are that do not know Christ, wherever you may go that Christ is not named. It may be your school, your neighborhood, maybe around the world some place — taking the gospel where we live, work, & play.

BAPTIZING: This was an outward visible sign of obedience. It was an overt act of obedience by which a person demonstrated the reality of salvation.

TEACHING: A person who comes to Christ is willing to learn. So, our burden is to teach whatever Christ commanded for his disciples to follow.

5. Element of power (v. 20)

Prayer: “Lord you care about this more than I do, so do what you will. Lord, you love this people more than I do, so reach them.”
