The Assignment: Be Disciples Who Make Disciples

Jesus commissioned His disciples with the assignment to go to all the nations to preach the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. But the gospel of Matthew ends with the unique commission to go and make disciples of all nations. For the last 100 years, the church in America has put much effort into the “go” of this commission, and all over the world the gospel is growing and bearing fruit. However, in that same time period, the American church has lost focus of the “make disciples” element of the Great Commission. As a result, the global gospel map has shifted. We must rediscover what it means to both “be a disciple” and to be a “disciple who makes disciples.” (Matthew 28.16-20) August 15, 2021
