Great Commission
We’re continuing our Easter series, Testify, focusing on what it means to share our faith. Today we’re turning our attention to the passage in Matthew often called the Great Commission. As Jesus is preparing to ascend to heaven and leave His disciples behind, He gives this great command to go out into all the world with the Gospel. It is our heritage of faith that we share in this commission. But what does this mean, exactly? What does it mean to carry the Gospel of Jesus with us into the world? Let us meditate on these things as we worship together.
