Proverbs 29:18

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”

VISION - What are we going to do?

The Great Commission

Matthew 28:18-20

“And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Preach (share the gospel, make disciples)
Baptize (testimony of obedience of their faith)
Teach (to look like Jesus; progressive sanctification-hagios)

** Promise that Jesus will always be with us.

We are here to glorify God and for His pleasure

“Thou are worthy, O Lord, to received glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

The Great Commission - Part 2

Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Power (dunamis-dynamite) of Jesus
Holy Ghost - dwelling in every believer
Witnesses (martyr-give of your life to)

Jerusalem - Household

Judea – neighbors, co-workers, friends

Uttermost part - everywhere and until the end of mankind

Devoting ourselves to:

Apostles’ doctrine - Bible
Fellowship - Koinonia
Breaking of Bread (BOB) - Lord’s supper and discipleship (3 people)
Worship - Proseuche

Where: Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Receive Power (dunamis) - God’s dynamite power

Witnesses - to present the good news of the Gospel to the end of being a willing martyr

Jerusalem - home and surrounding neighbors

Judea – neighbors, co-workers, friends

Samaria - outcasts or those who may be “unlovely”
