Rev. Kris Cooper preaches from the text St. Matthew 28:16-20. The great commission teaches us to say yes to ‘Go' because Jesus has given us authority, To be committed to ‘Make' as we make disciples, Baptize, & teach, & decide to ‘Trust' a Savior who is always near us doing the Work through Christ alone.

Replacement theology states that God's promises in the Bible are no longer for the Jewish people but only for Christians. There is so much deception and propaganda spreading in our time. We are truly in a spiritual war, and we must be fighting for truth to prevail. Narratives are growing in popular culture that the current Jewish people in Israel are not Abraham's Biblical descendants, but before you follow the loudest voice, what does the Bible have to say?

One of the issues with the church at Corinth is they do not realize who they are in Christ. They have forgotten the old, sinful man was dead and they are allowing sin to be in the church. Paul keeps naming some of the sin they are contending with and in this particular instance, they are boasting about a sexual sin that is happening within the church between a man, his wife, and his son. It's not just a one time thing, but a many time thing! Paul reminds them they are the Temple of the living God, that He dwells inside them through the Holy Spirit! How can they continue to live in sin when they should be led by the Spirit of God who they carry into their sin?!?!? They died to sin when they came to Christ and they should continue to die to sin on a daily basis but they are choosing to sin and boast about it!
If you know God's Voice, the Lord will use you for assignments when no one else knows what to do. Hearing God is not magic. It's not rigid. It's something that must be searched out to be truly found. Other people's methods will not work for you. There is something unique God wants to birth in you. There are different methods and ways the Lord wants to speak to you. Many times, He is teaching us how to look at things before speaking clearly or God is wanting reveal Himself to us more so we can take in what He is trying to say. Hearing God's Voice is meant to be personal and intimate. We cannot demand or manufacture an answer from God. His voice is both familiar and unique every time we hear Him speak.

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/051226.cfmWho Can Baptize, When, and Why? Some New Points By Fr. Chris AlarIn this homily, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, offers a powerful teaching on Baptism: It is not just a symbol, but a saving sacrament instituted by Christ. He explains why the Catholic Church has always baptized infants, why Baptism brings the grace of the Holy Spirit, and why parents should never delay giving their children this extraordinary gift from God. But he goes even deeper, raising an important question many Catholics may not know how to answer: Can a Baptism ever be illicit? ★ Support this podcast ★
Scripture: Matthew 18:5-6
Sunday morning message, May 10, 2026.
Today is day 129 and we are studying The Sacrament of Baptism. 129. Why is it appropriate to baptize infants? Because it is a sign of God's promise that they are embraced in the covenant community of Christ's Church. Those who in faith and repentance present infants to be baptized vow to raise them in the knowledge and fear of the Lord, with the expectation that they will one day profess full Christian faith as their own. (Deuteronomy 6:6–9; Proverbs 22:6; Mark 2:3–5; Acts 2:39; 16:25–34) We will conclude today with A Family Prayer for Children found on page 76 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Pressure, pressure, pressure. Everyone faces pressure. Some people are comfortable applying pressure. Some people are working to remove pressure. But pressure is unavoidable. So when the enemy puts the squeeze on you, what do you do? Do you run? Do you numb? Do you fight? Or do you fly? Up is the only way to climb. God has an answer, but it can only be seen from above the enemy's lies.

Pastor Antonette concludes the "Follow Me" series by immersing listeners in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) as a new creation mandate echoing Genesis 1. It emphasizes that Jesus entrusts His perfect work to imperfect people ("the 11" who doubted) and calls us to an active, outward life of mission. The five key verbs—Go, Make disciples, Baptize, Teach, Behold—outline a lifetime of slow, relational formation rather than programs or convenience. The presence of Christ ("I am with you always") is presented as the essential fuel empowering the entire commissioned life.

Recorded in India - Psalm 91 is a family affair and it was written for the dangerous days we live in. Do you know how to dwell in the secret place of the most high? There is a secret place in God were we can find refuge. The world is in chaos but you do not have to be. Work to get the promises of Psalm 91 deep down in you so the Word comes out of your mouth when you face trouble.
We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn't rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world.STUDY GUIDE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkkLG3gMG6BC7PHbM8Lm9NHdX0VMDQr6/view?usp=share_linkMatthew 28:16–20 is the final exhale of the greatest story ever told. And the thing that hits hardest isn't the Great Commission itself — it's who Jesus gives it to. Doubters. Men who walked with Him for three years, watched Him die, heard the women say He was alive, and still showed up to that mountain unsure of what they were even looking at.And Jesus says: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go.In this episode we ask the question nobody wants to sit with — what is doubt actually costing you? Not just spiritually. In your marriage, your calling, your obedience, your worship. Because doubt isn't neutral. If doubt takes root, death still reigns. Whatever you're doubting God about — that thing has taken the throne. And the only cure isn't more effort. It's looking at the authority of Christ and saying to everything else: you're not my dad.We also get into the Trinity — why Jesus is equal in divinity but subordinate in function, what it means that a human being is seated on the throne right now, and why the resurrection is the proof that the one with all authority over your life actually loves you and wasn't forced.We close with the commission: Go. Baptize. Make disciples. Teach. And the promise underneath all of it — I am with you always, to the end of the age.This is the end of Matthew. And it's just the beginning.

The Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 reveals God's specific mission for every believer's life, yet only 17% of Christians know what it is. Jesus gave His disciples four key elements: His complete authority over all things, the call to reach all nations and people groups, the responsibility to teach all truth including baptism and Scripture, and the promise that He is always with us through the Holy Spirit. God has placed each of us in a specific sphere of influence - our workplace, neighborhood, or community - where we can impact others through prayer, care, and sharing our faith. The Great Commission isn't just for pastors or missionaries; it's God's game plan for every believer to make disciples using their unique gifts and circumstances.
