Slide 1: THE GREAT COMMISSION IN TEN PARTS Part 4
Slide 2: The five accounts of the Great Commission are in: Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20; Acts 1. PART FOUR: THE METHOD: TEACH
Slide 3: Let us ask and answer six questions about the “method” we must use to fulfill the Great Commission.
Slide 4: What does it mean to “teach”? Make disciples; to make learners [matheeteno] Matthew 28:19 NET Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
Slide 5: them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, DISCIPLE, n. [L., to learn.] 1. A learner; a scholar; one who receives or
Slide 6: professes to receive instruction from another; as the disciples of Plato. 2. A follower; an adherent to the doctrines of another. Hence the constant
Slide 7: attendants of Christ were called his disciples; and hence all Christians are called his disciples, as they profess to learn and receive his doctrines and precepts.
Slide 8: To train; instruct [paideuo] It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, Titus 2:12 NET
Slide 9: To tell or announce thoroughly; publish abroad [diangello] Luke 9:60 NET But Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but as Preach
Slide 10: for you, go and proclaim (KJV preach) the kingdom of God." To ponder, resolve in one’s mind; then, to converse, dispute, discourse, to reason
Slide 11: with [dialegamai] Acts 20:7 NET On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul began to speak (KJV preach) to the people, and because he intended to
Slide 12: leave the next day, he extended his message until midnight. 8 (Now there were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.) 9 A young
Slide 13: man named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep while Paul continued to speak (KJV preaching) for a long time. Fast asleep,
Slide 14: he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. To tell good news or tidings [euangelidzo] Acts 5:42 NET And every day both in the temple
Slide 15: courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming (KJV preach) the good news that Jesus was the Christ.
Slide 16: To proclaim; literally, to report down [katangello] Colossians 1:28 NET We proclaim him by instructing and teaching all people with all wisdom so that we may
Slide 17: a herald [keerukso] Acts 8:5 NET Philip went down to the main city of Samaria and began present every person mature in Christ. To cry or proclaim as
Slide 18: proclaiming the Christ to them. To talk, discourse [laleo] Acts 14:25 NET and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Slide 19: What do we teach? The gospel [good news] Romans 1:16 NET For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, to
Slide 20: the Jew first and also to the Greek. The way, the truth, and the life John 14:6 NET Jesus replied, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
Slide 21: except through me. The word 2 Timothy 4:2 NET Preach the message, be ready whether it is convenient or not, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience
Slide 22: and instruction. Christ Jesus 1 Corinthians 2:2 NET For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Slide 23: Acts 8:35 NET So Philip started speaking, and beginning with this scripture proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him.
Slide 24: Why this method? There will be no visions, miraculous dreams, visits from angels, “miracles of salvation,” or direct communication from God.
Slide 25: Sinners cannot be saved through feelings, Calvinism, Universalism, or “testifying.” Few will study on their own – we must teach and preach.
Slide 26: Good circumstances. 4; Luke 8) Under what circumstances should we teach? Parable of the sower. [good ground hearer] (Matthew 13; Mark
Slide 27: Pentecost (Acts 2) The eunuch (Acts 8) Lydia (Acts 16)
Slide 28: Bad circumstances Stephen (Acts 7) During all types of persecution 2 Timothy 3:10 NET You, however, have followed my teaching, my way of
Slide 29: life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance, 11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra.
Slide 30: I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all. Hatred “Shake the dust off” Acts 13:15 NET After the
Slide 31: reading from the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, "Brothers, if you have any message of exhortation for the
Slide 32: people, speak it." Luke 9:5 NET Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
Slide 33: How should we teach it? In simplicity 2 Corinthians 11:3 NET But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from a
Slide 34: sincere and pure devotion to Christ. Ephesians 3:3 NET that by revelation the divine secret was made known to me, as I wrote before briefly. 4 When reading
Slide 35: this, you will be able to understand my insight into this secret of Christ. 5 Now this secret was not disclosed to people in former generations as it has now been revealed to
Slide 36: his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, In boldness Acts 4:13 NET When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and discovered that they were
Slide 37: uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:31 NET When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled
Slide 38: together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God courageously.
Slide 39: In love Ephesians 4:15 NET But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.
Slide 40: Uncompromisingly Acts 7 Mark 10:17 NET Now as Jesus was starting out on his way, someone ran up to him, fell on his knees, and said, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit
Slide 41: eternal life?" 18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not
Slide 42: commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and 20 The mother.' “( Exod 20:12-16; Deut 5:16-20 )
Slide 43: man said to him, "Teacher, I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws since my youth." 21 As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said,
Slide 44: "You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 But at this statement, the man
Slide 45: looked sad and went away sorrowful, for he was very rich. Teach Message Accurately 2 Timothy 2:15 NET Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven
Slide 46: worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately. 2 Timothy 3:16 NET Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for
Slide 47: teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.
Slide 48: But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. 1 Peter 3:15 NET
Slide 49: How long should we teach? Until all hear Colossians 1:23 NET if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, without shifting from the
Slide 50: hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.
Slide 51: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to obey Matthew 28:19 NET
Slide 52: everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Slide 53: Until all obey Matthew 7:13 NET "Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who
Slide 54: enter through it. 14 But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Slide 55: John 3:16 NET For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Slide 56: 2 Peter 3:9 NET The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for
Slide 57: all to come to repentance. Until death Revelation 2:10 NET Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown into
Slide 58: prison so you may be tested, and you will experience suffering for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself.
Slide 59: And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, Until the end of time 1 Corinthians 15:24 NET Then comes the end, when he Hebrews 9:27 NET
Slide 60: hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under
Slide 61: his feet. 26 The last enemy to be eliminated is death. 27 For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. (Ps 8:6) But when it says "everything" has been put in
Slide 62: subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him. 28 And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be
Slide 63: subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 NET Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers
Slide 64: and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe
Slide 65: that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians. 15 For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left
Slide 66: until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with
Slide 67: the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up
Slide 68: together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Slide 69: 2 Thessalonians 1:7 NET and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. 8 With
Slide 70: flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of
Slide 71: the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who away from the
Slide 72: presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who have
Slide 73: believed — and you did in fact believe our testimony. 11 And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness
Slide 74: and every work of faith, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Slide 75: 2:1 Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be easily shaken from your
Slide 76: composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive
Slide 77: until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every socalled god or object of
Slide 78: worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God's temple, displaying himself as God. 5 Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you.
Slide 79: 6 And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time. 7 For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him
Slide 80: back will do so until he is taken out of the way, 8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth and wipe out by the
Slide 81: manifestation of his arrival. 9 The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan's working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, 10 and with every kind of evil
Slide 82: deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.
Slide 83: God’s chosen method for fulfilling the Great Commission is teaching! Let us get busy learning it so that we can tell it to all of the people in all of the world!
