Understanding “The Great Commission”
• It is not about PROFESSIONALS.
• It is not about POLITICS.
• It is about PEOPLE becoming ALL-IN FOLLOWERS of Jesus.
Becoming an All-In Follower of Jesus
1) ____________ God.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13
2) _________ freedom.
13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature… 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. - Galatians 5:13, 24-25
3) _______________ purpose.
31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. - 1 Corinthians 10:31-33
4) ________ the world.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. - Ephesians 2:10
Jesus: “Now this is eternal life - that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.” – John 17:3
