  1. Would you rather make a meal or make reservations?

  2. Read Matthew 28:19. In light of Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations”, why is it important for us to see that
    the word “nations” is a reference to people groups rather than the nearly 200 countries in the world today?

  3. All people have been created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26–27). How should this truth affect our view of the
    church’s mission?

  4. Why is it good news that God seeks his own glory in all that he does?

  5. Read Luke 16:19-31. How did Pastor John apply this story to missions in the sermon? Discuss the reasons why missions should be a part of every local church and Christian’s life.

  6. Given your life circumstances, what does “making disciples” look like practically for you?

  7. What are some ways that parents can raise their children to embrace their role in the Great Commission?

  8. It’s certainly critical that we share the gospel as we engage unreached people groups. Why is it also critical that we
    do the slow work of discipleship?

  9. Read Psalm 96.
