Empowered to Go

From Doubt to Disciples: The Great Commission

Jesus's resurrection wasn't just an end; it was a powerful beginning. It launched a movement that would change the world. Pastor Joey highlighted the Great Commission in Matthew 28, where Jesus charges His disciples – and us – to go and make disciples of all nations.  

These words are both inspiring and challenging. The disciples, who had wavered and doubted, were now empowered to carry on Jesus's mission. It was a rebirth, a moment of clarity and renewed purpose.   

But how could they accomplish such a monumental task? Jesus promised them power – the power of the Holy Spirit. This power wasn't just for the twelve; it's available to all believers today. It equips us, strengthens us, and empowers us to live out our faith boldly.

Reflection:  What part are you playing in the Great Commission? How has the Holy Spirit empowered you to share your faith and serve others?

Scripture: Acts 1:8 - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
