Matthew 28:16 - 20
Jesus has Risen
The Resurrection is not the end, but the beginning.
Jesus didn't let the disciples' doubt change the future of God's plan for the world.
He chooses people throughout History.

Jesus the King
vs 19
The Great Commission
Go! Go somewhere
You need to make disciples. We need to make opportunities to share the Gospel.
No one can argue against your actual experience of God.
The church is to be living out the teachings of Jesus.
What Jesus tells us to do:
Make disciples of all nations.
A lifelong journey of obeying Jesus Himself.
Walking besides other disciples. Praying for others. Respectfully admonishing each other.
vs 20
Baptism
We need to be baptising people.
A symbol of a Christian's movement from death to their new life in Jesus.
They need to know who Jesus is, and His commands.
They also need to follow His example.
The reason. Jesus' commands. He has risen.
The assurance. He is with us always.
A profound promise.
