Go & Tell Ministries: Great Commission Study: Facilitators Guide

by Jim Halstead

Overview

Jesus' last words, the Great Commission, can be found in Matthew 28:18-20, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The Great Commission has become "The Great Omission" in the life of many churches and church members. Today, many Christians falsely believe that attending church is all that is required. A recent church survey revealed that the majority of US churchgoers (51%) have never heard of the Great Commission.

The Great Commission summarizes Jesus' life and what it means to be called His disciple. The command that He gave us was to make disciples who would make disciples. The three ways His disciples fulfill this call upon their lives are to Delight in God, Declare the Gospel, and Disciple Others. This 7-week video series will equip you to do just that! It will instruct and inspire the believer to grow in love with Jesus, share the gospel, and make disciples who will, in turn, make disciples. This study is perfect for individuals and small groups who want to live out the Great Commission and become a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

The Go & Tell Great Commission Study is a 7-week video series. There is a facilitator's workbook and a participant's workbook with a daily study. This workbook is for a disciple of Jesus Christ who wants to fulfill the Great Commission.
