1 00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,400 It is the joint tonight. Instead of, with you on a 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,500 sermon, we've entitled The Great Commission to you that have been 3 00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,800 born and raised in the church. You've heard of this phrase from 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,900 many many years. However, old you are. 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,300 That's how long you've heard about the Great Commission. 6 00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:24,300 This is the very important topic and it's one that we should not 7 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:28,200 take lightly. It is not time to tune me out. 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,600 It's time to tune Me In because we're going to cover quite a bit 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,300 of information. During this lesson that 10 00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:42,300 oftentimes is not discussed. Why is it called the Great 11 00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,500 Commission? You know, when you set out to go 12 00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:50,500 to scripture and find the Great Commission, you're not going to 13 00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:54,200 find it. Whenever you find in a calm 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,700 Corner sir search it you're not going to find it it's never 15 00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,000 called the Great Commission. Although everybody who knows the 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,100 Bible to even a small degree, generally knows what you're 17 00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,200 talking about when you say the Great Commission, Shit, we plan 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,900 to show you why we believe is called the Great Commission. 19 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,700 During this lesson, we're going to be talking about several very 20 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:25,700 unique areas and have to pattern is drive this entire gospel 21 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,900 meeting. We're going to be sharing with 22 00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:31,300 you information that will help you individually. 23 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:36,300 I pray but that will help you help others And their journey 24 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,200 and their spiritual life. This is very important and this 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,400 is one particular sermon that will come of great benefit of 26 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,800 her numerous of wires to let me know that this helped them a lot 27 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:53,700 others did too. But this one really made a 28 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:57,500 difference because a lot of people say, well, I've been 29 00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:01,500 baptized And many people just tell. 30 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,700 Okay, then I didn't know that and let it go. 31 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:08,300 There's not time to let it go. It's time to ask more questions 32 00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:13,200 when why what the circumstance is about and on and on we go 33 00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:16,600 would be talking about a lot of that tonight and then tomorrow 34 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,400 night and even the next night we're going to be addressing the 35 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200 final three lessons along.

Sometimes I saw you need to make 56 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,500 a corrugations smaller. It start a big project like that 57 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,700 but y'all have done so well, it's been fascinating. 58 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Alright, let's look at the Great Commission. 59 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,800 It is recorded in the Book of Matthew 28, verse 18 and 20. 60 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,100 Perhaps this might be the number one place people would go. 61 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,900 So do please turn with me, I will continue to preach from the 62 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:04,400 King James version, Matthew 28, verse 18 and 20. 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,300 Hey, Jesus came and spake unto them saying. 64 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:14,000 All power is given unto me in heaven and in Earth go ye 65 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,200 therefore and teach All Nations. Baptizing them in the name of 66 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:26,000 the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,700 observe all things whatsoever. I have commanded you And lo, I 68 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:37,300 Am with You alway even unto the end of the world of men. 69 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,100 Now, I'm going to read this account and I'm going to make 70 00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,900 some comments. If you're taking notes in a 71 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:47,600 number of you are, be sure to write this down, this is the 72 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,500 only time in the New Testament that it says to be baptized in 73 00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,200 the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, you will 74 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,600 not find that anywhere else you not going to find that. 75 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:05,600 Max they're going to be baptized in the name of Jesus. 76 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,500 That is by his authority. But Matthew 28:19 is the only 77 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:16,200 place you're going to see in the name of the Father, the Son, and 78 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,800 the Holy Spirit. And that is very very important. 79 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,300 And you will need to use that at times and some of your home 80 00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:27,800 studies and in your conversations with people. 81 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,200 Well, as you look at Matthew, 18 to 20 but especially verse 19. 82 00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:38,500 And the first word, a verse 20, you will find this message right 83 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:47,900 here, go teach baptized teach. Those are the four directives 84 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,600 given and the Mac to use the count of the Great Commission. 85 00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:58,300 Go get out of Jerusalem and go, go where I want you to go teach 86 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:02,500 All Nations. And other places where find 87 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:08,800 teach all the world and Mark 16 verse 15 teach every creature. 88 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,300 Mark 16 verse 15, preach everywhere. 89 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:22,600 Mark 16 verse 20 among all nations, Luke 24:47 every person 90 00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:28,900 and all the world in every nation needs to hear the Great 91 00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:33,200 Commission. That's the reason today, I 92 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:39,300 understand this the metropolitan area here is 350, 400 thousand 93 00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:44,900 or somewhere in that ballpark. That's a big enough city that 94 00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:49,200 you may be. The only man are the only woman 95 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200 that some people ever meet. That's the truth New Testament. 96 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,800 Christian, you might be the only person And I want to be very 97 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,300 candid with you. If you do not share the gospel 98 00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:07,300 with them who is and who will It is frightening to me to think 99 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:12,700 about if someone went in some just random neighborhood and 100 00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:16,900 they began to knock on doors saying, sir, what must I do to 101 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:20,400 be saved? How many doors would an 102 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,100 individual have to knock on before someone told them the 103 00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,400 truth? Oh, they would get answered some 104 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,300 of variety of people. And who knows what kind of 105 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:33,300 answers? They may give. 106 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,100 But I'm talking about a Biblical answer. 107 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,600 This is so very important. Today that we turn our tongues 108 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,000 loose in a positive way. Next week, I've got appointments 109 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,400 to preach about sins of the ton. And this could be a very 110 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,300 important engagement and I'm glad to do that. 111 00:07:55,300 --> 00:08:00,500 But I'm here to tell you today, There are many good usages of 112 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:06,500 the time, one of which is to use your tongue in a positive way of 113 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,000 speaking. Good of the congregation that 114 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,300 you attend, your brothers and your sisters in Christ and you 115 00:08:13,308 --> 00:08:17,000 have home studies, and you're using your tongue in a positive 116 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,600 way. When you proclaim the defend, 117 00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:24,100 the cause of with the Lord died. So when you think about the 118 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:28,200 tongue, don't only think about sins of the time and there's Any 119 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,900 of those think about the good usages of the tongue? 120 00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:37,100 Well what we find here and the Great Commission and Matthews 121 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:41,600 account you go get out of Jerusalem go and Scatter out 122 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,300 everywhere. And you read the book of Acts 123 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:48,800 and chapter 2, they hovered around Jerusalem, and they 124 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,500 really hung there all the way to chapter 8. 125 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,400 And they are in Acts 8. You see the due to the 126 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,100 persecution, the church. The Bible says, was scattered 127 00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,600 abroad and I'm sure with him reason, the death of much 128 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,200 thought. Yes, yes. 129 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,500 I've won this. I've got it. 130 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,500 I'm scattered out all these people but much did he not 131 00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:17,700 realize these people love the Lord. 132 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:21,900 They love the Lord's church and wherever they went, they 133 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:26,900 established a A gason he assisted in getting 134 00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,600 congregations established far and wide. 135 00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:35,900 The devil lost that battle many people look at acts 8 verse 1 136 00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:40,100 and just cringe over the founder of the persecution, drove them 137 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:44,400 away. But really to be honest, it was 138 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,500 a victory for Christ and the church. 139 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:53,000 Oh I feel for the paper that were persecuted, of course, But 140 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,100 for the church, it was God's Will and it is amazing how the 141 00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:01,700 church grew even beyond that. So understand the Great 142 00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:05,600 Commission, go get out of Jerusalem and go and when you 143 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,900 get there, you teach that, if you make disciples, you talk to 144 00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:14,900 people about the gospel, you tell them about the death, the 145 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:16,900 burial, and the resurrection of Jesus. 146 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,300 And if you've witnessed that or you've seen him, you know, one 147 00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,400 indication he was seen of over 5. 148 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,900 Hundred people. If you happen to be one of those 149 00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:30,400 500 people, you can say, I saw him, I saw him die on the cross 150 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:33,900 and I saw him a few days later, I'll be his resurrection from 151 00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:38,000 the dead. Get your faith, talk to people 152 00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,100 sharing the good news of maple. Yes indeed, go teach them and 153 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:46,200 then baptized them. Baptized him. 154 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,200 For the remission of their sins and would discuss that more 155 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,700 detail here in a little bit. That's what the Lord said go. 156 00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:57,700 You teach him and he baptized him. 157 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,600 And then in verse 20, the first word, teach them the new 158 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,200 Converse to observe all things that I have spoken unto. 159 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,200 You, my dear friends, please that ice into that you do not 160 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,700 need to ask. What should I study with this 161 00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,500 new convert? You teach them to observe, all 162 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:23,900 things that I have. Commanded, you go. 163 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:28,800 Go teach baptized teach every bit of that is found in the 164 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,700 first writing of the Great Commission Matthew 28:18-20. 165 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:38,700 Now, please turn over with made a Mark 16 and we're going to 166 00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:42,400 read verse 15 and 16 I would go ahead and read it through verse 167 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,100 20. But we'll concentrate on verse 168 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:49,400 15 and verse 16. This is very interesting by the 169 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,500 way, it's going to be the last chapter of Mark. 170 00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,000 There's hot. Matthew 28, was the last chapter 171 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,900 of Matthew and more of the 16th chapter, the recording of the 172 00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:05,800 Great Commission. Wants poor marks account of what 173 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600 Jesus said. If you have not read letter 174 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,700 Edition, Bible is going to be mostly red letter. 175 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,200 And he said unto them, here it is. 176 00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:20,100 Go you and all the world, preach the gospel to Every Creature. 177 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,400 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. 178 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:25,600 He that believeth not shall be damned. 179 00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:28,900 I'll be back here in a moment. And these signs shall follow 180 00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:33,500 them that believe in my name, they shall cast out devils. 181 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,700 They shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up 182 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:42,500 serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt 183 00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,500 them.

That is quite the fields are 196 00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,500 white unto Harvest. Harvest, but the laborers are 197 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:44,500 few. the congregation here, can double if every member would 198 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:49,000 work diligently to convert one, sold to Christ, this 199 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,900 congregation could double You said Alan do you really think 200 00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,300 that's likely? No, I don't. 201 00:13:57,100 --> 00:14:00,700 Okay, but half of you do it, you'll be 50%. 202 00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:03,900 Larger. I would love for the hyper with 203 00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:07,400 everybody doing it. Sure, but of half of you did it 204 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:10,400 and everybody work, but only half accomplishment, that's all 205 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,300 right, you got 50% more and you start duplicating that year by 206 00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:20,300 year by year and the church will be establishing a congregation 207 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:22,000 over here. The congregation over there, 208 00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:26,700 it's going to grow. Listen to gospel is so powerful, 209 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,700 you can take hold of Matthew, Mark or Luke. 210 00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:32,300 You can read that discuss it with whomever. 211 00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:36,600 Have opportunity and you can share with them how the gospel 212 00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:42,200 is for me, but it's for you to this gospel that Jesus fake is 213 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,300 for you now. Let me tell you. 214 00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:48,200 What else you said? Jesus said he that believeth and 215 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,100 is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be 216 00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:57,300 damned. Oh many people are on the run to 217 00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:01,000 this passage the lighter frame. He that believeth not shall be. 218 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000 Damned to say sea baptism is not essential to Salvation. 219 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,000 Because he said he that believeth and is baptized. 220 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,900 He didn't say he that believeth and is baptized, I shall be 221 00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:17,500 damned he that believeth not and baptized I shall be damned and 222 00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:21,100 since he didn't say baptisms, their baptism not important 223 00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:25,400 wrong. What he said was he that 224 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,600 believeth and is baptized shall be saved. 225 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,300 He that believeth not shall be damned. 226 00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:35,000 Let me tell you what if a person does not believe There's no 227 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,300 reason that baptized him back to the other picture because that 228 00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:43,100 person he's not ready to meet their maker. 229 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,200 Now, I'll be right back. Let's go over to John 3 and 18. 230 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,100 I want to show you another passage and this will help to 231 00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:53,000 explain it. And John 3 and verse 18, the 232 00:15:53,008 --> 00:15:56,000 word of God says to following get a hold of this. 233 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Now this is in the conversion of Nicodemus. 234 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:03,700 This is two verses after for God, so loved the world. 235 00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,800 He gave his only begotten, son, John 3:16. 236 00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,900 Look at Verse 18. He that believeth on him is not 237 00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:15,500 condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because 238 00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:18,000 he has not believed in the name of the only begotten, Son of 239 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,500 God. Listen, if a person is not 240 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:23,900 willing to believe, there's no need to move forward, they've 241 00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:27,000 got to believe in Jesus before you move forward. 242 00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:31,700 It's just not baptism. You never baptized somebody who 243 00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:35,500 doesn't bother to repent of their sins and change her life 244 00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:40,000 change the will change their ways you don't baptize people. 245 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,800 If they don't understand us, their faith and confession of 246 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,900 the name of Jesus, all the Great Commission means so very much. 247 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,700 And we're looking at Mark chapter 16 and we're seeing a 248 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,600 great truth taught here. He that believeth and is 249 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,700 baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be 250 00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:02,700 damned. It's a very, very strong passing 251 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,400 and the next couple of verses I'm not spend a lot of time on I 252 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,400 would like to but in this lesson, I'm Garen toward 253 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,900 bringing out the things of the Great Commission that will apply 254 00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,700 to us today. This is in the day, the Miracles 255 00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:21,700 here and verse 17, 18 and part of that, and now in verse 19. 256 00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:26,700 So then After the Lord had spoken unto them, he was 257 00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:31,000 received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 258 00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:34,200 Now, what the world is he talking about, do you know 259 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,500 exactly what he's talking about on? 260 00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:40,900 Tell you something, most people do not realize that the 261 00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:45,500 Ascension of Jesus after his birth after his life. 262 00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:50,300 After his death, I've been his resurrection He was received up 263 00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:53,600 into Glory, that was recorded and the one that most people 264 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,500 realize is ax 1 9 through 11. That's the one that most people 265 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:03,700 go to would you can go to Mark 16 and verse 20 of her. 266 00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:06,000 It's not teen. So then after the Lord had 267 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,400 spoken to them, here's received up into heaven, on tell you 268 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,300 something. Did you know this? 269 00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:15,800 That when you get rid of through Reading Matthew, you turn, right 270 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,900 over to acts 1 and pick up and continue your reading. 271 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,400 And chronologically it would all be there. 272 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:26,100 Just not Mark, you read Mark 16, and it talks about that at the 273 00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:29,200 very end. There section of Jesus acts one 274 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,300 picks up. And soon verses 9 through 11 275 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,100 Acts 19 through 11, he talks about the Ascension, the same 276 00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:41,000 Loop you get through Luke. You pick up an ax 1 and you take 277 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,300 off. Most people don't know that. 278 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,600 It's just a matter of understanding the layout of the 279 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,400 New Testament scriptures, we have for men. 280 00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,600 Matthew Mark, Luke and John who are given to us. 281 00:18:55,700 --> 00:19:00,700 The very valuable and very important teaching of the life 282 00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:04,700 and the death and the burial of the Resurrection Life, Death and 283 00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:09,300 burial, and resurrection, and Ascension of the Lord Jesus. 284 00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:15,200 So watch, Todd and Acts 19 through 11 is also taught and 285 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,600 Mark and and looked. So let's go to Luke, Luke 24:46 286 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:35,600 through 47. Lou give this accounting is so 287 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,000 very valuable. Please follow me. 288 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Carefully please verse 46. Jesus said, thus, it is written. 289 00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:49,400 And thus, it behoove Christ is suffer to rise again from the 290 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,500 dead. The third day, and that 291 00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:56,900 repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, 292 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,600 among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 293 00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:05,000 Now, to establish my point that I just made, look down, please 294 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,800 verse 51, and it came to pass. While he bless him, he was 295 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,700 parted from them and caught up into heaven. 296 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,300 So there you say John Luke, 24 verse 51, the Ascension of 297 00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:24,100 Jesus, the same thing recorded in Acts 19 through 11. 298 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:28,500 So the Ascension of Jesus is according to Mark the gospel of 299 00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:32,800 Mark, the Gospel of Luke and the writing of Luke and acts of 300 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800 first chapter. So please commit that to your 301 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,700 memory and work on that. Because that is a very important 302 00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:42,600 part to show how Jesus got back to Heaven. 303 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:47,100 Lots of people ask that, how is he now sitting at the right hand 304 00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,600 of God?

Okay, let's look back at Luke 24 308 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,500 here verse 47 and that repentance and remission of sins 309 00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:11,800 should be preached in his name. We're among all nations 310 00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:17,500 beginning, we're at Jerusalem, Jerusalem, where the church had 311 00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:20,200 its beginning.

I'm just taming. 364 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,500 You are sitting here, you're lazy. 365 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,000 If you're not willing to confess the name of Jesus, there's 366 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,600 laziness on your part, get out there and tell people, I 367 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,500 believe, that Jesus Christ, the son of God, and we understand 368 00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:18,000 for him and judgment. Don't go trying to have some 369 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,900 kind of a cop-out to where you don't have to do, you do have to 370 00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:25,600 do it. If you don't confess Jesus, he 371 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,100 clearly said, I will not confess in you before my father. 372 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,400 You know what that should motivate us to do is to motivate 373 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,000 us. You get out of here and start 374 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,200 confessing to people the beautiful name of Jesus. 375 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:42,000 Well, and, and the three accounts of the Great 376 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,200 Commission, preaching, believe in Repentance, baptism. 377 00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:50,300 Farther mission of sand and then other accounts equally emphasize 378 00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,000 confession. But you know what? 379 00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:58,800 I'll be reading all of that. It shouldn't say the Great 380 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,600 Commission. Let me tell you why it's called 381 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,100 the Great Commission. It's called the Great Commission 382 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,600 because there was also a limited commission, a limited 383 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,400 commission, you would only go to stay with me here. 384 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,400 This is very important, it's not difficult but it's very 385 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400 important. I want you to turn your Bibles 386 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,100 me to Matthew 10 verse 5 through 7 This is going to illustrate a 387 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:29,300 true that you may have never thought about before and 388 00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:32,000 Matthew. The 10th chapter verse 5 through 389 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,300 7, the word of God says the following and please take pay 390 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,900 very, very close attention because this really revealed the 391 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,300 tremendous amount I'm began verse 5 now, Matthew 10 verse 5, 392 00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:53,000 these 12 that's 12 Apostles. Jesus sent forth and commanded 393 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,500 them here. The command go not. 394 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,200 And the way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans 395 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,900 enter, ye not, but go rather to the lost sheep of the House of 396 00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:13,500 Israel at this moment in time. Jesus said do not go to the 397 00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,400 Gentiles, do not go to Samaritan. 398 00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,400 Now the Samaritan won't have to, you have Gentile, don't go to 399 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,600 that. That's what it said in Matthew 400 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,800 10. 5 through 7 is what we call the Limited. 401 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,400 Ian. But we're talking about the 402 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,800 Great Commission. Recorded, Matthew 28, March 16, 403 00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:38,800 and Luke 24. Why is one called limited 404 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800 commission? And the other called the Great 405 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Commission because the limited commission limited, who they 406 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,600 could go to and there's to the Jews? 407 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,700 No, you can't go to the gym towel. 408 00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,100 You can't go the Samaritan, you only go to the Jews. 409 00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:58,500 But in the Great Commission, you go to All Nations. 410 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,800 You go to all the world you go to Every Creature, you go. 411 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,600 Everywhere you go to all the nation. 412 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,500 You tell everybody anywhere.

He said, wow. 545 00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:39,300 So my friends, when we talk to people, give the picture the 546 00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:42,500 whole picture, I love that song will you sing? 547 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,700 And I said usually used to but I just don't see it in the modern 548 00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:49,700 books but they will be one day Lord willing, I love to tell the 549 00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:55,500 story to those who know it best. That is such a beautiful song 550 00:36:55,500 --> 00:37:00,000 and really have touch your heartstrings because when you 551 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,800 love the church and you love this I mean this right here is 552 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000 it's just old hat to many of you but you know what you love to 553 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,500 hear it.

Baptism, you're baptized in the 557 00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:27,400 name of Jesus Christ. This phrase in the name of means 558 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,700 by his authority of Jesus Christ, Luke 24 and verse 47. 559 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,500 Luke gave the reason for the remission of sin. 560 00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:42,600 So in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, 561 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:47,400 I'm am baptized you. And the name of the father and 562 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,800 of the son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28. 563 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,400 Verse 19. Now when I baptize people, 564 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,600 that's what I say. Now a person could reword that 565 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,300 and and mention one thing for the other that's fine. 566 00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:03,900 That's not a problem. None. 567 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,100 No problem at all. Deborah people can say it 568 00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:11,100 differently but just long as they say what needs to be said 569 00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:19,200 and what is biblical? a few weeks ago, I was at one 570 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:26,200 location and, and the lady came up to be baptized And the 571 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,000 gentleman who is given the lesson that night, he let me 572 00:38:30,008 --> 00:38:32,600 know after church that he would like to be part of the 573 00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:35,700 baptizing, a nerve not. So sure, that's that's fine. 574 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,300 I'm you can do the whole thing for that. 575 00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:39,700 I'm concerned, you're welcome to that. 576 00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:44,000 And then it's time to develop. He kind of want a little help. 577 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,700 So I agreed to go with him. So we both went in there and I 578 00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:51,000 said with you, you can baptize her and I just be there to make 579 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:57,300 sure everything goes smooth. And whatever words he said it 580 00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,000 wasn't that, okay? I'll just leave it at that. 581 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000 He wasn't didn't get. It said what needed to be said. 582 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,600 What he said was sweet and meet nice but it wasn't but chapter 583 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,300 and verse When he got three looked at me, like we're ready. 584 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,100 Then I said, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission 585 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:19,600 of your sins, I baptize you in the name of the father, Son and 586 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200 Holy Spirit.

Baptized My daughter from she 594 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,600 was baptized. She was really excited about it. 595 00:39:56,900 --> 00:40:00,200 And one of the neighbor girls who live close by in our 596 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,500 neighborhood riding home with the from school and a live, is 597 00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,600 it? I was baptized last night. 598 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,600 And this girls are oh I've already been baptized oh really? 599 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:25,200 Yeah. Why she didn't other than her 600 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,300 parents told her? She been baptized? 601 00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:31,400 It came to be that she was baptized just six weeks old. 602 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,000 She don't remember nothing about it. 603 00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,000 She may have been kicking and screaming because she didn't 604 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,500 want to be baptized. I don't know. 605 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,700 But let me tell you what, when people are baptized as infants, 606 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,400 they're not scripturally baptized And when people come 607 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,100 to, this morning's been, you don't have one here, of course, 608 00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:53,200 but they have little mourners bench up here. 609 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,000 A lot of places and they come there and they pray and you know 610 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,900 what? When they leave, that mourners 611 00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,000 bench to go back to their seat. They think their sins have been 612 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,800 forgiven right there and that morning spinach. 613 00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:08,900 And then they gather up a group of people about every month or 614 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,900 every quarter, and they're baptized the whole slew of them. 615 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,500 Mt, what that's not scriptural baptism. 616 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,000 Because if they think they're saved before the baptized, 617 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,400 they're not baptized for the remission of sins. 618 00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:26,100 So you have to sit back and listen to what they're saying, 619 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,400 you can ask me why you you baptized and you can do that are 620 00:41:29,408 --> 00:41:35,600 very kind way and when and how and can you show me in the Bible 621 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,700 where it was done that way? And you just sit back and 622 00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:43,000 listen, the more people talk, I found the more easy it is to 623 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:48,400 convert them, let them talk. And then you said, well, I know 624 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,500 you. No doubt, your parents did what 625 00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:52,500 they thought was right, you did what you thought? 626 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,700 I was right. We can I share with you what? 627 00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:59,000 God's work teacher. And people do yes and you show 628 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,500 them. They said without that that 629 00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:04,400 doesn't look like mine. I said well we need to be 630 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,800 re-baptized about the Bible teaches acts, not teen one 631 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,500 through five acts, not taking one through five. 632 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,600 I could have written that somewhere but I didn't on the 633 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,600 board. That is the only account. 634 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,300 We have of people who are baptized into John's, baptism 635 00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:26,100 who later were baptized by the baptism of the Great Commission. 636 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,000 And when people today are baptized in a way that does not 637 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,700 meet. According to scripture, they 638 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:36,600 need to be scripture, the baptized by the baptism, the 639 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,600 Great Commission.
