  2. Our Goal That The World May Know Him Through Us That The World May Know Him Through Us

  3. Oneness & Unity • What was Jesus Prayer about? • Who did He chose to be the instrument? - Disciples saved by grace! - All believers are disciples of Christ - Our Status and condition before God!

  4. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

  5. Introduction

  6. Hudson Taylor "The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed"

  7. Jesus Giving The Great Commision • Matthew 28:18-20 • Mark 16:15-18 • Luke 24:45-47

  8. Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

  9. Elements of the Great Commission • Belief • Repentance • Water Baptism • Teaching • Healing * • Supernatural signs * * These were the essentials during the time of Jesus and the apostles, to authenticate their mission

  10. How Will They Know?

  11. Romans 10:14-15 • How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? • And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? • And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? • And how can they preach unless they are sent? • As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

  12. 3 Points • The Calling • The Commitment • The Challenge

  13. The Calling

  14. SCRIPTURAL MANDATE FOR EVANGELISM?

  15. What Is The Great Commission • It is NOT a SUGGESTION! • It is NOT a PROPOSAL! • It is NOT a SCHEME! • It is NOT a PLAN! • It is NOT even an OPTION! • IT IS A COMMAND!

  16. A. The Declaration of His Power: All Power All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me….(Ordered by Creator) Therefore go and….. (Calling)

  17. B. The Description of His Plan: All Nations 1. Make disciples of all nations, (Great Commission) 2. Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (Our Authority involves the Trinity) 3. Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. (His Commands)

  18. C. The Duration of His Presence: All Days or Ages And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." His Continued, unending presence promised to us!

  19. The Commissioning John 20:21 The commissioning of the disciples to be messengers of the good news. Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

  20. "Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?" William Carey Missionary to India 1761 - 1864

  21. Acts 1:8 The Holy Spirit is promised to empower the believers to witness so that others will hear the good news and come to accept Jesus as Saviour and Lord. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

  22. 2. The Commitment

  23. Why Do We Preach The Gospel? • Man’s spiritual condition • God desires all Men to be saved • It is the Great Commission • Outside Christ, there is no salvation • There is no opportunity to be saved after death • The Love of Christ constrains us

  24. The HS was sent to direct Evangelism • The Value of the Soul • The Judgment seat of Christ 10. God has chosen men to do it, not angels 11. Time is short 12. The final judgment & eternal punishment

  25. 2 Corinthians 5: 18-20 Points to the expectation that those of us who are reconciled unto God should bring to others the message of reconciliation.

  26. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the Ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the Message ofreconciliation

  27. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. • We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

  28. "If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no SACRIFICEcan be too great for me to make for Him." C.T. Studd Missionary to China Cambridge Seven 1860 - 1931

  35. "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose" Jim Elliot Missionary martyr who lost his life in the late 1950's trying to reach the Auca Indians of Ecuador 1927 - 1956

  36. 2 Timothy 4:5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

  37. "No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once." Oswald J. Smith 1889 -1986 Canadian Evangelist

  38. Paul’s Vision "So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds Acts 26:19-20

  42. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 How Does BKC Achieve this VISION?

  43. "The primary qualification for a missionary is not love for souls, as we so often hear, but love for Christ." "I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light" John Keith Falconer Missionary to the Arabs 1889 – 1986

  44. ARE WE A • Gospel Driven • CHURCH? • His last command is Our Firstpriority

  45. "If you take missions out of the Bible, you won't have anything left but the covers" Dr Nina Gunter

  46. "The mission of the church is missions“ Oswald J. Smith 1889 – 1986 "Missions is not the 'ministry of choice' for a few hyperactive Christians in the church. Missions is the purpose of the church."
