Great Commission. There are five Great Commission
It has been said, “We are here and not in
purposes that we’ll study in lesson 10.
Lessons 8 and 9 dealt with two purposes that God hell because of the grace of God and we

the Great Commission.”
II. LESSON INPUTS
Matthew 28:19-20 account of the Great Commission
“Evangelism modeled after Matthew 28 and the book of Acts is “Church-Planting Evangelism.”
Even though the term “church planting” does not appear in the Matthew 28 passage (nor any other
place in the Bible), the activities in these two verses describe what we have come to know as “church
planting.” We have been commissioned to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…and
teaching them…”

BIBLE 3
a. Baptizing them…
Two purposes of Baptism:
b. Teaching them to observe all things…
2 Timothy 2:2.
This verse explains the discipleship process more clearly than any other passage in the Bible. How
many generations of believers are mentioned in this verse? (answer = at least 4)
• Whom could you disciple?
Think of someone who needs to be discipled whom he could begin to mentor in a discipleship
process. This might be someone that he has led to Christ, or any other believer who has not matured
in His Christian faith.
• How would you do it?
You take someone through The Way to Joy (or any other discipleship materials) just as you have
been taken through it
• When can you start?
The objective of this question is to get think about specific plans, rather than to just think about doing
it “some time” in the future.
Is there a need for a new church in
“God may have a purpose for you in…” your community or nearby?

We often think of church planting as something that only _____________________________

There is an old Jewish saying that there are three things ____________________________
that a man should do in order for his life to influence the
future:
• Parent a child.
• Plant a tree
• Write a book.
As Christians, we might add three things a person can do to influence the future, even into eternity:
• Win someone to Jesus Christ.
• Disciple an immature believer.
• Assist in planting a new church.
5. Future Missionary Service
Are you willing to ask God if He wants you to be a missionary, at some point in your life, to make
disciples in another of the many nations of the world?
Obviously God doesn’t want all of us to leave our homelands to minister for Him in another
country. But, a good test of submission to the lordship of Jesus Christ is to tell God that you are
willing to invest your life, anywhere in the world where you could have optimum impact for Christ.
