Message: "The Commission" from Brian Richardson

Brian Richardson - May 18

The Commission

Watch
Listen

Throughout the gospels, we see Jesus model, lead, teach, inspire, convict, and instruct his followers. This instruction--the command to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind; and to love our neighbor as ourselves--comes before The Great Commission. A commission is a formal, written warrant, granting the power to perform various acts or duties. It's the authorization to act in a prescribed manner. And those who've been commissioned have been given a charge to serve. So what are our "marching orders"? Go. Make. Baptize. Teach.

Scripture: Matthew 28:17-20, Revelation 12:11

From Series: "Aftershocks"

Literal and figurative earthquakes surrounded Christ's death and resurrection. Easter changes everything! Aftershocks continued to be felt in these last days Jesus walked with his disciples. He continued to deal with our doubts, light hearts on fire, and remind us of our marching orders: believe, love, go, make, baptize, and teach. Before his ascension, Jesus ushers in a new struggle against tradition in the aftershocks of the resurrection... can you feel it?
