18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

 Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)

 

The Great Omissions of The Great Commission
  1.  We’re Not Making Disciples
  2.  We’re Not Teaching Them to “Observe”

A Disciple is:

  1. Devoted to Christ                     - The Man

  2. Devoted to Christ's Words     - The Message

  3. Devoted to Christ's Work       - The Mission
