ONE COMMISSION

3. Teach them.
One promise: Jesus will always be with you.

TWO PATHS
1. One path is the path of sent-ness, the missional path.
2. The other is the path of the nations, the missions path.
1. One path is the path of sent-ness, the missional path.
2. The other is the path of the nations, the missions path.
THE CHURCH IS BOTH A "SENT PEOPLE" AND A "SENDING PEOPLE"!
