Derek Thomas: The Great Commission

Summary

The sermon focuses on the Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20, emphasizing the church's purpose as making disciples of all nations through baptism and teaching. It highlights that mission exists because worship is the ultimate goal and draws parallels to the early church's resilience during persecution and the Reformation's missionary efforts. The takeaway is that this mandate is the church's calling, driven by love for Christ, even amidst doubt.
