THE 5 GREAT COMMISSIONS OF JESUS
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:19–20, NLT)
“And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.” (Mark 16:15, The Living Bible)
“…this message of salvation should be taken from Jerusalem to all the nations: There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.” (Luke 24:47, The Living Bible)
“…As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” (John 20:21, NLT)
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, NLT)
WHY THE MISSION MATTERS
1. SHARING
“In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.” (John 17:18, The Message)
2. SHARING
“For I have a great sense of obligation to people…to preach the Good News. For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes…” (Romans 1:14–16, NLT)
“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” (2 Corinthians 5:14, NIV)
3. SHARING WITH OTHERS IS A
“All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself through what Christ Jesus did. And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come into his favor and be reconciled to him.” (2 Corinthians 5:18, The Living Bible)
“So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”” (2 Corinthians 5:20, NLT)
4. SHARING THE GOOD NEWS IS THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE CAN FIND
“Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.” (Acts 4:12, CEV)
“as the Scripture says, “Anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.” But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must believe in him; and before they can believe in him, they must hear about him; and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them;” (Romans 10:13–14, NCV)

5. BECAUSE GOD WANTS
“This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3–4, NLT)
“…God is being patient…He does not want anyone to be lost, but he wants all people to change their hearts and lives.” (2 Peter 3:9, NCV)
6. I WILL REJOICE WHEN I
“In the same way, I tell you there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who changes his heart and life, than over ninety-nine good people who don’t need to change.” (Luke 15:7, NCV)
