The Great Commission

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 28. Today, we finally come to the end of our study in the gospel of Matthew, and recently as we have reviewed Matthew, chapter 27 and 28, we have seen over and over this overarching theme on the providence of God. God’s providence in Jesus’ torture and persecution. God’s providence in Jesus’ death, His burial and now in His resurrection. And even in the passage we looked at last week, where Matthew basically recounts alive, it was being spread by the guards at the instigation of members of the Sanhedrin.

The Mission

It's a good thing for every church to pause and reflect from time to time on the great commission, and ask ourselves whether we are actually obeying the great commission.

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 28 as we continue to work through this series of messages called “Biblical Priorities for the Life of Our Church.” We’re not simply talking in the abstract here; we're talking about wanting to be a more faithful biblical local congregation of believers, and we've been looking at some of the things that the word expects the local church to be characterized by. We've said in the course of this series that a healthy local church is a church characterized by members who understand the times. They know the particular challenges to the Christian faith and to godliness…

The Mission of the Church: Discipleship

The Lord's Day Evening September 11, 2011 “The Mission of the Church: Discipleship” Matthew 28:19-20 The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 28. I know that most of you can say these verses by heart, but I want you to keep your Bibles in hand because we're going to look at a number of passages together tonight as we focus like a laser beam on one of the great themes in Jesus’ Great Commission. We’re used to going to…
