Message by Larry Thacker Jr. from October 25, “Time to Go!”
In Matthew 28:18-20, not long before he ascended back to Heaven, Jesus gave His disciples some instructions. He said, “…make disciples of all the nations…” He was not telling them to create their own batch of followers to be disciples of disciples. He was telling them to make disciples of Himself. Our mission is to be and to make disciples of Jesus! He is our model. He is the one we follow, and as we seek to bring Him ore followers, we do so by “teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.” Our job is not simply to get people to make professions of faith or even to get baptized, though this He also told us to do. Our objective is to make disciples. How might this focus change the way we evangelize and conduct church activities?
