What is success to you?

On what basis do you define success?

Basis of the Great Commission:

  • Jesus is alive!
  • Jesus is coming again!

God calls us to BE disciples MAKING disciples, in all of life!

1. Driven by worship

The Great Commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) empower us in the Great Commission!

Passionate worship is contagious!

Disciples long for Jesus’ presence – to see Him and be near Him!

Our worship of Jesus instills us with His heart for the lost (Luke 19:10).

2. Driven by belief

What characterizes you?

  • Our beliefs shape us.
  • Actions demonstrate beliefs.

Baptism portrays a change in identity because of a change in belief.

Do I really believe that what I believe is really real?

3. Driven by authority

Jesus’ authority is not about a new rulebook, but our empowerment through obedience!

Jesus demonstrated His powerful authority in His resurrection (Romans 1:4) and shared it with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8)!

We grow as disciples and reproduce disciples through teaching (2 Timothy 2:2)!

4. Driven by urgency

God uses us where we are, in the midst of our life context!

As you go…

  • But you need to move! (It takes action)
  • But you need to speak up! (Faith comes by hearing)

Are you too busy for what matters most? (*Luke 10:29-37*)
