The Great Commission as the Heart of Ministry

📖 Introduction

Ministry is at the very core of the Christian life. It is not merely a task or a role but a calling that flows from the heart of Jesus’ final command to His followers: The Great Commission. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus entrusts His disciples with a mission that shapes every believer’s purpose — to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach all nations. This commission lies at the heart of all ministry because it directs us to reflect God’s love, truth, and kingdom on earth.

Each day of this study will help you dive deeply into what it means to embody the Great Commission in your own ministry context. Whether your ministry is in a church, community, workplace, or family, the principles of going, making disciples, and teaching remain foundational. You will encounter powerful biblical truths that guide how to serve effectively and lovingly, while also nurturing your personal faith journey.

As you engage with these Scriptures and reflections, let your heart be challenged and encouraged to live out ministry with passion and intentionality. The Great Commission is not just a biblical text; it is a lifelong call to participate in God’s redemptive mission to the world. May this study spark a renewed zeal to serve boldly and love radically, inspired by Christ’s example and command. Let’s begin this transformative journey, trusting God to equip and lead us in fulfilling our sacred calling.
