There are a lot of things we don't remember from week to week, such as to rotate our tires or to change out our air conditioner filters. But we really should remember the important things in our life of discipleship, such as the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20. Remember the fact that God SAVED you to SEND you. And when we go and make disciples remember that Jesus gives us His authority and that He promises His presence!
Today we're celebrating 155+ years of ministry in Burlington with a special focus on our missions partners. As a church, we were once called to make disciples in this new part of Burlington - forging a path where before there had been none. How is this exemplified in our missions partners, and what can we learn from Matthew 28:19-20 about being disciples who make disciples?

David Platt challenges followers of Christ to be disciple-makers of all nations and to mobilize our churches to fulfill the Great Commission.
Our mission as God's people has come from Jesus himself. Jesus came into the world to save sinners and now he has sent his redeemed people to take the message of salvation to all nations. The church has a clear mission in the world. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
Matthew 28:1-10 - The Impact of the Resurrection by Calvary Chapel Irmo
November 5, 2023 | Matthew 28:18-20 | How Do We Make Disciples? | Vision Sunday | Zack Yarbrough
Matthew closes with Jesus risen and proclaiming "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." It's on the basis of this all-encompassing authority that Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations. Pastor Doug teaches on this Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20.

Evan Alrutz continues our sermon series, Genuine Church, with a sermon entitled "The Ordinances."
As we close our series "Thy Will Be Done?" we look at the Great Commission. The authority of God's Son, Jesus, is the foundation for God's people to accomplish God's Will.
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the seventh characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ makes other disciples. In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus is speaking with his disciples and gives them a command. He tells them go out and make other disciples. But how is this done? What is a disciple? Pastor Kyle looks at this and explains more. Our top priority as individuals and a church should be to make disciples.

Message from Stu Streeter on October 29, 2023
How can we explain the empty tomb? The chief priests and elders tried to cover up the truth in Matthew 28:11-15 by saying that Jesus' disciples stole the body. But have the chief priests and the opponents of Christianity through the ages really given us the best explanation of the facts, or does the evidence show that Jesus rose from the dead? Pastor David preaches on Matthew 28:11-15.
Pastor Brian speaks on Self Government.
Morning: Matthew 18:19–20; Matthew 28:20; John 14:21–23; Jude 24–25 “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” “If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”—“Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?…” “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Matthew 18:19–20 (Listen) 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (ESV) Matthew 28:20 (Listen) 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV) John 14:21–23 (Listen) 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. (ESV) Jude 24–25 (Listen) Doxology 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time1 and now and forever. Amen. Footnotes [1] 1:25 Or before any age (ESV) Evening: Psalm 46:1–3; Matthew 24:6; 2 Corinthians 5:1; 1 Peter 4:7; 2 Peter 3:7; 2 Peter 3:13–14; Revelation 20:11 The end of all things is at hand. I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away.—The heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.—“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed.” We have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.—We are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. Psalm 46:1–3 (Listen) God Is Our Fortress To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.1 A Song. 46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present2 help in trouble.2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah Footnotes [1] 46:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 46:1 Or well proved (ESV) Matthew 24:6 (Listen) 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. (ESV) 2 Corinthians 5:1 (Listen) Our Heavenly Dwelling 5 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?”—“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty.” Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.—I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim…. One called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”… And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost.”—“I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself.” The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.—That we may share his holiness.—Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,… let us draw near with a true heart.

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Morning: 2 Chronicles 32:7; Job 42:2; Psalm 20:7; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 43:13; Daniel 4:35; Matthew 8:2–3; Matthew 9:28–29; Matthew 28:18; Mark 14:36; Luke 18:27; Revelation 19:6 “The Lord our God the Almighty reigns.” “I know that you can do all things.”—“What is impossible with men is possible with God.”—He does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”—“There is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”—“Abba, Father, all things are possible for you.” “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”—“Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.”—Mighty God.—“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.—“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed,… for there are more with us than with him.” 2 Chronicles 32:7 (Listen) 7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him. (ESV) Job 42:2 (Listen) 2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. (ESV) Psalm 20:7 (Listen) 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (ESV) Isaiah 9:6 (Listen) 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon1 his shoulder, and his name shall be called2 Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Footnotes [1] 9:6 Or is upon [2] 9:6 Or is called (ESV) Isaiah 43:13 (Listen) 13 Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?” (ESV) Daniel 4:35 (Listen) 35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” (ESV) Matthew 8:2–3 (Listen) 2 And behold, a leper1 came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus2 stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Footnotes [1] 8:2 Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13 [2] 8:3 Greek he (ESV) Matthew 9:28–29 (Listen) 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” (ESV) Matthew 28:18 (Listen) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (ESV) Mark 14:36 (Listen) 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” (ESV) Luke 18:27 (Listen) 27 But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” (ESV) Revelation 19:6 (Listen) The Marriage Supper of the Lamb 6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. (ESV) Evening: Deuteronomy 10:13; 1 Samuel 3:9; 1 Samuel 3:17; Micah 6:8; Galatians 3:10–11; Galatians 3:19; Hebrews 1:1–2 “What was it that he told you?” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?—“. . . to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?” All who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”… Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made.
