In this week's sermon, co-lead pastor Ricky Kennedy continues through our series "Follow Me: What it Means to Be a Disciple of Jesus" with his sermon on Matthew 28:16-20. In these verses, we learn what the most valuable component of following Jesus: making disciples of others. First, we see Jesus's authority and realize that the Great Commission rests firmly on the authority of Jesus Christ, not on our own authority. 

Then, we see the assignment Jesus gives his followers: the Great Commission is a command, not a suggestion. Finally, we feel the assurance Jesus provides. We don't go forward and make disciples on our own, but remember that Jesus is with us always, for all time. Praise God! We get to join him in his mission to share the joy of the Gospel with the entire world!
