The Need for Church Growth Matthew 28:18-20 The primary mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Being a disciple of Christ means you learn of Him, follow Him, and carry on His mission of seeking and saving the lost. Every disciple of Christ shares the task of making more disciples. I. The Need A. John 14:6; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23 B. Acts 17:30-31 C. Romans 10:1-3; II Thessalonians 1:7-9 II. The Message D. Mark 16:15 E. Romans 1:16 III. The Methods F. Ephesians 3:8-11 G. Christians must share the message. H. "Come and see." If it is true that man’s sin has separated him from God for eternity; and if it is true that God sent His only Son to die for our sins; and if it is true that Jesus Christ is the only Hope we have for forgiveness of our sins, then the task of bringing people to Christ must be the highest mission or purpose that anyone could possibly have in life. And Jesus IS our only HOPE! People need the Lord! If you are not a Christian, we urge you to obey Jesus Christ today! |
