Go in Authority

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His disciples to "Go and make disciples of all nations," but He doesn't send them out empty-handed. He declares, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me," and then empowers His followers with that very same authority. This sermon explores the profound truth that while Jesus holds all authority, He commissions us to go with that authority into the world. As believers, we are called not to timidly step into God's mission, but to boldly proclaim His kingdom, knowing that the power of Jesus Himself backs us. We are not operating in our own strength, but under the authority granted to us by Christ. This message encourages the church to walk confidently in their calling, making disciples, baptizing, and teaching, with the assurance that Christ is with us always.
