5. Matthew 28:18-20The Message (MSG)
18-20 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

11. Discipleship & Demonstration (vs9-20)
While signs and miracles aren’t the end goal in our mission, these things authenticate what we say and point to Jesus, do we desire to grow in these things and develop what God has gifted us with?

12. Will we get on board with getting involved?
Will we trust God to provide, for everything?
Will we proclaim the Good News as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Will we have faith that God can demonstrate his power through us and our prayer?
