  • “Make disciples” is the primary command of the Great Commission. “
  • “Going,” “baptizing,” and “teaching” are the means by which we fulfill the command to “make disciples.”

 

The first step in making disciples is GOING. This is the means by which you are in the right place at the right time with the right person.

 

35 Jesus continued going around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.  36 When he saw the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”  Matthew 9:35-38 CSB
