As a Christian… • Do you have any responsibilities? • What are your responsibilities? What kinds of things are you supposed to be doing? • When it comes to spreading the Gospel, how do you do that? • Is it hard? Why or why not?
Ways not to witness… • Why were these bad ways to witness? • If you were NOT a believer, how would you react? • How would you have handled the situation differently?
Our responsibility… • Matthew 28:18-20 • The “Great Commission” • This is the mission of many churches, including LCOR! • This isn’t just a statement by Jesus, it’s a command!
The Great Commission 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all thenations, 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. (NASB)
The Great Commission • Go - Poreuomai • Make - Matheteuo • Baptize - Baptizo • Teach – Didasko
The Great Commission Go Make Teach Baptize
The Great Commission Go Make Teach Baptize
Poreuomai • Not necessarily a command to “Go” • Going is good, necessary, and should be done…but… • Another translation can also be “In your going…”
Poreuomai “In your going about your everyday life, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always , even to the end of the age.”
