What is Our Mission? Our mission is to “make disciples” of all peoples through the Spirit-empowered speaking of the Word of God (the gospel) “disciple-making” involves both speaking God’s word for conversion and for spiritual growth

Part Two: Who is called to this mission?

Every Disciple…? 1. Nature of a Disciple a disciple of Jesus by definition is a disciple-maker (“fishers of men” – Matt. 4:19) there are not two categories of disciples of Jesus the “Great Commission” is the abiding command of Jesus for every disciple (Matt. 28:19-20)

Every Disciple…? 2. Evidence from Acts Acts 2:16-21: the eschatological gift of the Spirit has been poured out on all believers Acts 4:29-31: all believers were filled with the Holy Spirit for bold proclamation of the word of God Acts 8:1-4, 11:19-21: believers who were scattered went about preaching the word

Every Disciple…? 3. Commands to Every Christian  Ephesians 4:11-16 the proper working of each individual member causes the growth of the body the most basic function of each member is “speaking the truth in love”

Every Disciple…? 3. Commands to Every Christian  Hebrews 10: Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Every Disciple Making Disciples  Do you see yourself as a vine-worker for the kingdom of God?

Every Disciple Making Disciples  Why is making disciples of Jesus our primary mission? “because there is something worse than death, and there is something better than human flourishing” -- DeYoung/Gilbert
