Episode 11: Greater Than Part 1: Mission Over Method
In today’s message, we embark on a captivating exploration of our mission as disciples of Christ in the series Greater Than - Part 1: Mission over Method.
In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28, and the book of Acts, chapter 1, verse 8, we find the fundamental purpose behind Jesus' earthly ministry and his final instructions to his disciples before ascending to heaven. His mission was clear: to reveal to his closest followers that they too were called to a mission—a mission to make disciples and share the life-changing message of salvation with all nations.
But what exactly does it mean to be a disciple? How do we embrace this transformative role and fulfill Jesus' commission in our daily lives? These are the questions we seek to answer today.
Throughout history, individuals have been drawn to Jesus, captivated by his teachings, his love, and the power of his miracles. Yet, Jesus didn't intend for his discipleship to end with the twelve apostles who walked by his side. He desired an expanding community of believers who would continue his work, spreading his word, and multiplying disciples in their own right.
Being a disciple means more than simply following Jesus; it means actively engaging in the mission he entrusted to us. It means embodying his teachings, living out his love, and sharing the transformative message of salvation with others. Each one of us has a role to play in this great commission.
So, who are you spiritually mentoring today? Are you actively involved in the discipleship process, pouring into the lives of others and guiding them on their own faith journey? Jesus' call to make disciples is not a suggestion; it is a vital part of our purpose as followers of Christ. This episode invites you to reflect on your own discipleship journey and consider the impact you can make on others.
Growing a church isn't merely about numbers or programs—it's about living out the mission entrusted to us. By making disciples, we cultivate a vibrant community of believers who, in turn, inspire and guide others in their spiritual growth.
So, join us as we embark on this enlightening journey and discover how the mission of Jesus shapes our lives and the world around us.
