In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus is establishing a group with authority and ability to carry out a task, and in the process of doing that they will be acting as His agent. They will be working in cooperation with Him and using His resources.  

Today we are starting a series called Co-Missional Church. The book of Matthew ends with Jesus’ words that have come to be called The Great Commission. More than just a directive to the first disciples 2000 years ago, this is meant for us as well. Yet in a much deeper and exciting way than just a vague understanding that we should probably be out doing evangelizing somewhere. Here is Tory Bjorklund, President of TRC Ministries teaching at Caravan Fellowship in part 1 of Co-Missional Church.
