Pastor David brings his 7-week "Reclaiming Faith" series to a close by focusing on Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20, asking the urgent question: "Are you more like Jesus today than you were at the start of this year?" He emphasizes that following Christ requires actual discipline and serious examination of one's faith, referencing 2 Corinthians 13:5: "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves."The heart of the message centers on Jesus' final command to make disciples, which Pastor David argues isn't just for the original eleven disciples but for every believer today. He shares how his mother discipled him through simple acts like playing Ray Boltz's song "Thank You" repeatedly, demonstrating that discipleship happens through everyday decisions and influences. However, he delivers a sobering warning from Matthew 23:15 about religious leaders who "make them twice as much a child of hell as you are," explaining that we either disciple people toward heaven or hell based on what's truly in our hearts. He challenges the congregation to put to death earthly behaviors like anger, impurity, and greed (Colossians 3:5-10) because we can only replicate what's within us. The sermon concludes with local statistics showing over 50,000 homes within five miles of their church served by only 25 churches, asking: "When you get to heaven, will any of these people thank you for your part in getting them there?"We invite you to connect with us: https://linktr.ee/faithmcrichmondtx
