The Great Commission

November 14, 2021 • Gregg Parris • Matthew 28:16–20, 1 Corinthians 15:14–17

Matthew 28:16-20 And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice. Genesis 22:18 Vs. 17 - When they saw Him they worshipped Him. Vs. 18 - All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. I Corinthians 15:14,16-17 All religions can be taught but only Christianity can be proclaimed! G.K. Chesterton Vs. 19 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… Vs. 20 - and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you… Vs. 20 - behold I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
