Co-Mission

Pastor Jerry Laudermilk
In the message "Co-Mission", Pastor Jerry discusses that our mission from God is to make disciples and not converts. The text for this message is Matthew 28:18-20. This passage of scripture is commonly called the Great Commission... Here, Jesus told His church to "go make disciples", not converts. He told them by what authority to do this. He told them to immerse the converts in the name (authority) of (also see Mark 16:17, Acts 2:38), and He told them to teach the new believers ALL that He had taught them. I want to point out Jesus NEVER said to SIMPLY make converts... He said make disciples. Converts to Christianity can just as easily convert to something else. Converting requires no new birth, no real relationship. Disciples though, are in relationship. They are deeply committed. They will follow Christ because they are disciplined to do so. So, are you a modern convert... or a true Disciple? If we are disciples... we are co-missioned to complete the work of Jesus.
