The Great Commission | Matthew 28:16-20 In this sermon from Matthew 28:16-20, we look at the final words of Jesus before his ascension — what we call the Great Commission — and ask what it means for every follower of Christ today. If you've ever wondered what your purpose is as a Christian, why the church exists, or what it actually means to make disciples, this message is for you. 📖 Text: Matthew 28:16-20
In this message, Together for the Gospel, we look at what it means to truly stand side by side in advancing Christ’s kingdom. Could Paul write to all of us and call us partners in the gospel, or would he have to write to just a few? Partnership is more than financial support or verbal encouragement—it’s sharing in the mission, sacrifice, and joy of making Christ known. Join us as we explore how real gospel partnership changes the way we pray, serve, give, and live. When the church is united in purpose, the world sees the beauty and power of Christ on display.
As we reflect on John 20:21, let us rejoice in the Christ's commission. Just as the Father sent Him, so He sends us into the world. Through Christ, we are empowered to carry His gospel to the world. Our lives are not mere coincidence; they are a response to the call He placed upon us. Let us embrace the privilege and responsibility bestowed upon us, knowing that because Christ came, we go.
