Without this last statement in the Great Commission, the rest of it would be beyond our reach.

Jesus says that as we make disciples for Him there are two things we must do: baptize them and teach them to observe all that He taught us. So, what's the big deal about baptism?

Plain and simple! This is the Mission Jesus started and commissions us to carry on--help people become true followers/disciples of Him.

This word from Jesus to His disciples is not a suggestion. It is a command, and it has come all the way down through time to us. It's the Mission!

It's why we are here. It's what we are to be about. It was the reason why Jesus came. It was His Mission...now He gives it to us!

How to read, interpret, and apply the Scriptures to your life.

It's easy to get side tracked and miss it. So, what is the simple heart of the message?

Since God loves us and wants us to be in relationship with Him, it makes sense He would give us a guide we can trust. Is it really the Word of God? How did He deliver it to us?
