resolved in reaching out to neighbors and coworkers, knowing that Jesus
promises to be with them and empower them for this task.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're gathering people together because I really believe that God has
given David and I a message. All right, what does it mean when Jesus
says, all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me, therefore
go and make disciples? How can that command be central in our lives?
This is what the future of the church really needs to be and we just
want to explain that biblically in such a way that we all hear it and
go, yeah, that's clearly the word of God and that we pass this on to
everyone we know who calls himself a follower of Jesus Christ. Wherever
you can join together with other believers who are saying, okay, we want
to be serious about what it means to be a disciple, what it means to
make disciples.

We want to obey the command of Christ. We want to experience the purpose
of Christ. We've got to start getting serious about getting out and at
least trying to make disciples, to get out and be more expressive with
what we believe in our hearts.

And so as we're all convicted individually, it's about gathering us all
together and having this sense of, yeah, we all believe this. We want to
be united in this message and all trumpet this together. This is what we
want to be a part of and so the whole goal of that gathering is to
reflect that, to encourage one another that night.

As we leave, let's leave with a confidence, let's leave with a practical
plan of how we're actually going to reach our neighbors, our coworkers.
It's a sense of resolve, like I'm not going to let anything stop me.
Jesus will be with us as he promises in Matthew chapter 28, verse 20,
and he's going to give us the power to do this and we are going to be a
part of the accomplishment of this mission.
