…Reach the World
Matthew 28:18-20

Most of us are intimidated by the word EVANGELISM.

Mark 4:1-9 Parable of the Sower.

  • The Wayside Heart
  • The Stony Heart
  • The Thorny Heart
  • The Good Heart

However, we can not pick and choose where we sow seeds.

Carrying out the Great Commission by sowing and reaping is everyone’s concern.

Great Commission

First, in verse 18, we are being commanded by a Savior who has all power in heaven and on earth.

Because we share our stories, others find the hope that is found in Christ Jesus.

Secondly, in verse 19, the Great Commission reveals a Savior that is for all people.

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe in him would not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Salvation is for all people. No one has sinned too much. No one is too lost.

Thirdly, however, we can’t stop here. The second part of the verse reveals to us the need to teach.

Then, as the people around you are influenced by your faith, they will find their way into a community of believers somewhere.

But Jesus called us to make disciples. As Christians, we must have a genuine concern for souls.
