Summary

When you hear the phrase “The Great Commission,” what is your initial reaction? There can be a tendency in the church to relegate the carrying out of this command to those who are “called,” or perhaps to those of a certain personality type. But if we follow Christ, the command to make disciples applies to us all—to the introvert as well as to the extrovert; to the lawyer and the barista as well as to the pastor and the career missionary. In this week’s message from John 15, Acts 1, and Matthew 28, Pastor J.D. provides a helpful framework for how to do what Jesus has called us to do: live with gospel intentionality in a way that results in true multiplication.
