Go and Make Disciples

from The Gathering · host Rev. Matt Miofsky

What is Jesus calling me to do in the Great Commission? Jesus tells his disciples, even though they were unsure and doubted, to go and make disciples. The great commission points the disciples to the people that they are supposed to impact. Faith is built by engaging those away from you. Yet, we tend to have a consumer culture in regards to church. The great commission is the birthing of a community on a mission. Rather than being a community that "comes and receives" we are called to be a community that "goes and makes". God wants us to invite and teach. We never really learn what Jesus is talking about until we ourselves begin to practice it. We learn as we teach and invite others to walk along side us.
