Mission and the Great Commission

The Great Commission stands as one of the most transformative passages in all of Scripture. Found in Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus's final words to His disciples before His ascension reveal the heart of God's mission for the Church: to make disciples of all nations. This seven-day study invites you to explore what it means to be part of God's redemptive plan for the world.

Throughout Scripture, we see God's missionary heart. From calling Abraham to be a blessing to all nations, to sending prophets to Israel and surrounding peoples, to finally sending Jesus Himself as the ultimate missionary—God has always been in the business of reaching the lost. Yet many Christians remain uncertain about their role in this grand narrative. Are missionaries only for the professional clergy? Does the Great Commission apply to everyday believers? What does it truly mean to "go and make disciples"?

This study will help you understand that mission is not peripheral to faith—it is central to it. Whether you're called to cross oceans or reach across the street, whether you're a pastor, teacher, parent, or professional, the Great Commission invites you into purposeful partnership with God. 🌍

As you work through these seven days, you'll discover that mission begins with personal transformation, flows through authentic witness, and extends to the whole world. You'll examine what obstacles prevent us from answering this call, how the Holy Spirit empowers us, and what faithful obedience looks like in our unique contexts. By the end of this journey, you'll have a clearer vision of your role in God's eternal mission. ✨
