Finishing up our series on Go fro Matthews GospeL.

As we continue our study on the Great Commission, I teach today on the topic of teaching. We are to go and to teach. Many of us, myself included, don’t consider ourselves teachers. Yet, as we see in todays episode, that is exactly what we are called to do.

Selected verses from Matthew 10. Jesus told us to “Go.” What did He mean? Go is an action word, it requires us to do something. We must share our faith with those in our homes, communities and workplaces. The church today seems to want people to “Come.” It’s up to us, the congregation, to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus in our homes, immunities and workplaces.

For the next several days, we will be studying what we call today, the Great Commission. It’s our marching larders direct from Jesus. Today, I give a quick overview of what we are called to do.

John 16:33. Peace and Joy, 2 things that I believe are lacking from our lives. Yet, they are both readily available for the Christian.

Romans 5:6,8. Today, we are talking about salvation, about getting the forgiveness of God. When we could do nothing to save ourselves, God stepped in, and gave us forgiveness through Jesus. Are you ready to accept that gift?

By spending time studying and applying the Bible to our lives, that is the only way we will know what the calling of God is on our lives. It’s the only way we will be thoroughly equipped to handle that call. When was the last time you looked at your Bible?

There are 4 things that we must do if we are going to have our mind renewed so that we can be transformed into the person that God wants you to be. Listen and discover those 4 tings needed to be a living sacrifice.

Romans 12:1-2. Did you ever realize that by living as a living sacrifice, you are giving a gift to God? I know that is one gift that will not be returned.

Romans 12:1. Paul calls us to be a living sacrifice. What exactly does he mean by that? In this episode, we look at what a sacrifice is, the Old Testament sacrifice system, and what we must do to be a living sacrifice each day. This is part 1 of the series.

2 Timothy 4:6-8. After giving Timothy some instruction into doing his good works, Paul reveals the results of doing those good works. Paul lived a lift of sacrifice for the Lord, and now he knew his death was near. He wanted to encourage Timothy to hold fast in his faith till the end, to keep pressing on and to finish the course that God had for him to live. Use this as an encouragement in your jo...

2 Timothy 3:17-4:5. God will equip you to do the job He has called you to do. In today’s episode, we look at our example, Timothy, and see what his calling was and how he was to do it. We can always trust God to provide our needs to complete His calling.

2 Timothy 3:16-17. God uses His inspired word to prepare us to do the good works He has called us to do.

Romans 8:28. Even though you might not see it or understand it now, one day, you will see how the trial you’re going through now will lead to good things for you and your life.

Haggai 1:2-5. At a time in when the Temple lie in ruins, Israel was too busy building up their houses farther than building up the house of God. For us today, we often sacrifice the things of God and the house of God to build up our bank account, our 401 that we neglect the house of God. Where are you building up?

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Death is a subject that many of us would rather not discuss. Me too. Paul teaches us and the church at Thessalonica some important principles about death. Things that should bring comfort to the Christian.

Selected verses from 1 Corinthians 1 and Psalm 103. In todays episode, I give you a little taste of mans wisdom, and show how the Bible disproves that wisdom.

2 Chronicles 33:21-23. Unfortunately, Manasseh’s son never repented of his sins. He lived and walked in the way of his father, before his father repented of his sin. As parents, we need to tell our children about Jesus, about God and about the Holy Spirit. If they don’t hear it from you, where will they hear it from?

Selected verses from 2 Chronicles 33. King Manasseh was evil and caused all Israel to sin. As a result of his sin, God led foreign armies to take him captive. When Manasseh begged with God for forgiveness and help, God heard his prayer. Upon returning to Israel, Manasseh got rid of all the strange gods and idols he taught Israel to worship. What sins do you need to rid your life of? What sins caus...

Selected Verses from Numbers 32. Don’t settle for just enough, aim to get all the blessings that God has for you.

1 John 1:4

John 20:30-31. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, John wrote the Gospel of John so that we would believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and we would have everlasting life. All the encounters, all the signs, all the miracles John presents in his Gospel are all for that reason. What other sign could you possibly want or need?

1 Corinthians 3:1-3. Paul is teaching the church at Corinth that there was so much more he wanted to teach them, but they were worldly and could not handle it. Imagine what God wants to reveal through us, but we are not mature enough for it either.

1 Corinthians 2:14, 1:17-18, 21-23. To you, is the things of God foolish? If so, then you are looking at things through the worlds point of view. Don’t let the world dictate your view of God. If that’s you, then spend time reading (yes, reading, not listening to, but reading) your Bible. Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read to increase your understanding and knowledge of God.

1 Corinthians 2:9-14. Paul is teaching about true wisdom. The kind of wisdom that comes from God. Are you listening for that wisdom, or following your own wisdom based on the things of this world?
