MATTHEW 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and
on earth has been given to me. 19 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, 20 and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the
very end of the age.”ROMANS 1:13-16
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many
times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in
order that I might have a harvest among you just as I have had among the other
Gentiles. 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise
and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you
who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the
power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew,
then to the Gentile.

2. THE POWER FOR THIS MISSION.
MATTHEW 28:18-19
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and
on earth has been given to me. 19 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.ACTS 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.EPHESIANS 3:14-17; 20-21
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family
in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious
riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your
inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for
ever and ever! Amen.ACTS 4:31
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was
shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke
the word of God boldly.
3. THE PRICE OF THIS MISSION.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7-9 NLT
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of
power, love, and self-discipline. 8 So never be ashamed to tell
others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even
though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be
ready to suffer with me for the sake of the gospel.
