The Great Commission

Matthew 28:16-20 challenges us to recognize that we've all been given Jesus' authority - not just a select few, but every single believer. This authority comes with a responsibility to act, to "go and make disciples of all nations." The story of Philip in Acts 8 beautifully illustrates how ordinary believers can have extraordinary impact when they step out in faith. We're encouraged to see discipleship as a process that begins even before someone comes to faith, requiring intentionality in our relationships with both believers and non-believers.
