AMA: When the Church Goes AWOL- Week 4 / Pastor Jeff Struecker

Big Idea: Have you multiplied yourself?  I. Go and do likewise.  Luke 10:37 “The one who showed mercy to him,” he said. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do the same.” Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 2 Timothy 2:2 What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Matthew 22:37–39 He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. II. Love for one another. John 13:34-35 “I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today.Become: I will follow Jesus fully this week.Be Sent: I will serve someone far from Jesus this week.
