2. 15 The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward!” God says GO!

3. Mat 4:19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Mat 4:20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. Consider what this means...

4. Jesus said: Follow me. Then he left... If they want to be with Him, they would have to leave, too.

5. Go movement vs. Come structure. Two choices for churches.

6. Jesus is on the go: Mark 1:33 And the whole city was gathered together about the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. 35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

7. Jesus is on the go: Mark 1:36 And Simon and those who were with him pursued him, 37 and they found him and said to him, “Every one is searching for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.” 39 And he went… It always was a GO movement.

8. Jesus is on the go: Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… And of course, they went, right?

10. Come Structure. Leave the capitol city? Site of our triumph?

11. Jesus is on the go: Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. The apostles stay put, and slowly disappear from view.

12. Acts 8:4 Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. 5 Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6 And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he did. 7 For unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice; and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was much joy in that city. When you GO, Jesus GOES WITH YOU.

13. Come Structure. If no one goes, no one comes.

14. Come Structure. We’re still waiting.

15. We're still waiting.

16. If you want to be with him, you cannot stay where you are forever. You cannot remain always the same. Instead, you will grow as you learn to go. Jesus was on the go. (Except for three days.)

17. What could happen if we followed Jesus... Out of maintaining our comfort zone?

18. What will you do? Where will you go? What's your spiritual PRNDL?

19. Don't just stand there! Do something! Present Day Pentecost
