Great Commission

conclusion of the Gospel of Matthew, the remaining 11 disciples are summoned to meet with their resurrected teacher in Galilee. It is here where Christ charges them to “make disciples (Μαθητεύσατε),” of all the nations in what is now known as The Great Commission. This act of making disciples would require 3 things that are indicated by the subordinate verbs, “going, baptizing, and teaching.” For the purposes of this paper, this will be an investigation into what kind of teaching Christ was referring

only words I received from someone who saw it fit to give me a pat on the back, followed by a crumpled up ball of cash (each of these gestures were received without solicitation). The sermon I delivered that morning was titled "The Impossibly Great Commission.” Looking back now, I realize that I could have spent a little more time one the headline, but the message itself was clear: we are purposed for a reason that is impossible to fulfill within our own strength. More simply put, "We need Jesus."

Mark’s Great Commission Out of all three Synoptic Gospel’s, Mark’s Gospel is the shortest as well as the first Gospel to be written. . Moreover, scholars suggest that the Gospel of Mark is a summary of Peter’s sermon in the house of Cornelius (Acts 10). Additionally, Mark’s Gospel ends with a commission similar to the other Gospels. Whereas the other Gospels commissions are similar, Mark is the only gospel that addresses the problem of reception and rejection of the gospel. In Matthew’s gospel

for Christians is to fulfill the commandment of the Great Commission. Wheeler and Whaley address the issue of worship and evangelism in their book The Great Commission to Worship, and provide important principles for Christians to help them see the relationship between worship and evangelism, and how it impacts obedience to the Great Commission. The following reading reflection will discuss four principles that are important to the Great Commission, and will apply those principles to current ministry

based upon worshipping God and glorifying God as well. Worshipping God is means to rejoice in God and to reveal Jesus in one’s life.1 Authors David Wheeler and Vernon M. Whaley in "The Great Commission to God" book have emphasized the importance of Worship to the reader in order for Christian to become a great commission worshipper. Authors have asserted that the top points in the book are worship and evangelism. These are a matter of cardinal importance to Believers who desire to live God's will and

In each of these occurrences of the Greek word “pas,” there’s some kind of categorical limitation. However, my understanding as it relates to the “great commission” is all means all and I approach God’s mission with this understanding. I join God’s mission with the lens seeing that every creature needs hear the good news of Jesus saving work in the world. The importance of the word all should must be accentuated

4MAT Book Review - The Great Commission to Worship Todd Bush Liberty University EVAN 525-B08: Contemporary Evangelism May 29, 2016 Abstract The question may be asked, “what is the essence of being a Great Commission Worshipper?” David Wheeler and Vernon Whaley provides subtle element of what the significance is to being a Great Commission Worshipper – a man absolutely and similarly dedicated to evangelism and worship – and an otherworldly procedure that is formational, transformational

In the Gospels, the Great Commission was given by the resurrected Jesus Christ to his eleven disciples for His church. God’s Son said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20). Now, the present-day church has the responsibility of carrying out this Great Commission as the disciples of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. My Philosophy of

In Matthew 28:19-20 also known as The Great Commission it states “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Jesus gave this command to the apostles shortly before he ascended into Heaven. He said this verse unto them as he wanted them to continue to spread his teachings. This verse continues to

these are the only words he said to me before giving me a pat on the back and handing me a crumbled up ball of cash (both of these gestures were received completely unsolicited). The sermon I delivered that morning was titled "The Impossibly Great Commission". Looking back now, I could have probably worded that better, but the message was clear, we are purpose for a reason and we cannot achieve that purpose in our own strength. More simply put, "We need Jesus." Now fast forward one or two months
