Welcome to this week's sermon from our series, "The Work and the Way of the Messiah." Following the celebration of the resurrection, we often ask: "What comes next?" This week, Dr. Jerry Shields takes us to the mountain in Galilee to examine the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20. We explore how the call to proclaim the Gospel is not just a task for "professionals," but a way of life for every believer—marked by worship, reverence, obedience, and a total dependence on the presence of Christ.
Sermon Highlights:
-
Worship in the Midst of Doubt: Understanding how the disciples responded to the risen Christ, even when they struggled to process the miraculous.
-
The Weight of Authority: Why Jesus began His final earthly instructions by establishing His sovereign authority over heaven and earth.
-
The Mission of Discipleship: A practical look at what it means to go, baptize, and teach in a consumer-driven culture.
-
The Promise of Presence: Finding peace in the "always"—the promise that Jesus is with us in every unpredictable day we face.
