  7. Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

  8. Mark 16:15-18 GO! – A sent people. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved… - Bring salvation and belonging. And these signs… - Carry the power of God.

  9. Acts 1:6-8 So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times of dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power then the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

  10. Acts 1:6-8 Go! and Power repeat. You will be my witnesses – our message comes from our experience with Jesus.

  11. Matthew 28:16-20 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.”

  12. Matthew 28:16-20 Go! and Power repeat. Make Disciples by baptizing and teaching – reproduce family members who Love Like Jesus.

  13. John 20:19-23 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” And he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

  14. John 20:19-23 Shalom be with you – Bring wholeness and set the world right.

  15. MISSION STATEMENT OF THE CHURCH We are the church. We organize to go into the world bringing with us salvation and shalom. We seek to reproduce ourselves by inviting others to join our mission and train them to love like Jesus. We go with the power of God.
