==========

Title: "Submit to His Authority"

Series:  KING JESUS

Speaker: Jim Hammond

Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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.”

I.     Who’s in Charge?  JESUS

Matthew 28:18

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Authority is the right to command, enforce, punish, and reward

II.     Your Mission:  CHANGE the WORLD

Matthew 28:19-20

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.”

Since this is the King’s great commission, we need to submit to his authority.  To fail to do so is high treason.

III.     How?  Do the “Math” (mathēteuō): MAKE DISCIPLES

“Making Disciples” means teaching people incrementally to…

1)  WANT Jesus as savior and king, 

2)  COMMIT their allegiance to Jesus 

3)  GROW and become like Jesus.

GROW and become like Jesus:

MORALS:  Transformed lifestyle:  It’s what I do.

MEANING: Transformed identity:  Because of who I am now.

MISSION:  Transformed purpose:  Because of who He Is!
