Mission: The Danger of Mission Drift - Part 2

What happens when a church or an individual believer loses sight of their core calling, and how do we anchor ourselves against spiritual mission drift?In this concluding sermon on the core value of Mission, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon unpacks Matthew 28:16–20 to explore the full depth of the Great Commission. Pastor Neil breaks down the essential pattern of kingdom mission—teaching the foundational truth of the Gospel, publicly identifying through believer's baptism, and walking in lifelong obedience to Christ's commands.
