The Mission Mandate: Teach

Missio Dei Fellowship

The Mission Mandate: Teach

February 9, 2020 • Matt Miller • Matthew 28:16–20

Jesus' instruction to the church is clear - make disciples! The ongoing aspect of this mandate is to make disciples by teaching them. Many view the teaching aspect of discipleship as merely reading through a book with someone in a coffee shop. However, it is far more broad, and involves opening up your entire life to a person. This sermon explores the concept of teaching, and calls the church to consider how they can best obey this principle in its multi-faceted aspects.

For the Fame of His Name

April 14, 2024 • Grayson Gilbert • Matthew 28:16–20

In this final passage in the book of Matthew, we find the risen Christ giving instructions to His disciples that they will now embark on the bold mission of making disciples of all nations. We find in our Lord's command not only the means by which we can be obedient to Him in this, but the sure promise of Christ Himself: He is with us until the end of the age. Therefore, we can go boldly forth, trusting that He will honor this work, for the fame of His name.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom of God

October 18, 2020 • Matthew Henry • Matthew 13

In a key transition point in the gospel of Matthew we see a consequence of the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah-King. From this point forward He began to speak in parables and in doing so He hid the hope of the Kingdom of God from most of the listeners. He called these parables the “mysteries of the kingdom.” This sermon examines what they say and what they reveal about the Kingdom of God.

The Mission Mandate: Go

January 26, 2020 • Matt Miller • Matthew 28:16–20

Jesus' instruction to the church is clear - make disciples! Yet this command is impossible to obey if we do not heed the starting principle-- we must go. This sermon explores the concept of going, and calls the church to consider how their current lifestyle hinders obedience to this most important mandate.
