The Message
What Do We Teach?
–
The Great
Commandment
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment. And the second is
like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
–
The Great Commission
“Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.“ Matthew 28:19-20
5 Biblical
Principles
1.
Love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart is
a call to WORSHIP.
·
Worship is
celebrating God’s presence and honoring him with our lifestyles.
2.
Love thy neighbor as
thyself is a call to
MINISTRY.

Ministry is
demonstrating God’s love by meeting the needs of others with love.
3.
Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations is a call to
EVANGELISM.
·
Evangelism is
communicating the good news of Jesus Christ with those
who don’t yet
have a personal relationship with him.
4.
Baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
is a call to FELLOWSHIP.
·
Fellowship is
incorporating God’s people into a family where they can be known,
cared
for, held accountable, and encouraged.
5.
Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you
is a call to
DISCIPLESHIP.
