Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,

saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
The GREAT COMMISSION
Matthew 28:18-20
I. THE EMPHASIS OF MISSION
In Matthew 28:18-20, we see Jesus as the
King of Kings so in this instance of the
commission we find His Kingship
emphasized.
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
I. THE EMPHASIS OF MISSION
1. The power of the King - "all power".
2. The purpose of the King - "make
disciples".
3. The process of the King - "going,
preaching,
baptizing".
4. The presence of the King - "I am with
you".
II. THE EXPLANATION OF MISSION
In Mark 16:15 , the Bible says
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.
II. THE EXPLANATION OF MISSION
1. The Method of Missions is preaching.
…preach the gospel to every creature.
2. The Place of Missions is the world not local
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world.
3. The Message of Missions is the gospel.
…preach the gospel to every creature.
GIST:
When we speak of the great commission, we
speak of the great responsibility given to the
church and the command to execute it.

This commission is given five times after the

resurrection of Christ and before His
ascension.
REFECTION:
The failure of many mission movements
has been that of proclaiming the gospel
but not "growing“ the convert.
REFECTION:
How about this church, What failure do
we encounter in proclaiming the gospel?
Why are we not growing in our mission
support?
What is the emphasis of mission for
you?
Do you understand you are part of the
REFECTION:
Are we growing as God’s converts?
Do you notice the four words: go, teach,
baptize, teach?
What can you contribute to fulfill the
Great Commission? Or do you want to
help? If not you, then who? If not
today…then When?
