“He Said Go. Why are you Still Sitting?” Matthew 28:16-20

“He Said Go. Why are you Still Sitting?” Matthew 28:16-20

Have you ever wondered what drives ordinary people to extraordinary acts of faith? In his powerful message,
Pastor Jim unpacks the Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20, illuminating how Jesus’ final
command transformed a group of hesitant disciples into world-changing missionaries.

Through the compelling story of William Carey, the humble cobbler-turned-missionary who
revolutionized missions in India, Pastor Jim illustrates how Christ’s authority empowers every believer’s calling.

He masterfully breaks down the four imperatives of the Great Commission: go,
make disciples, baptize, and teach, while addressing modern
barriers like comfort addiction, privatized faith, and fear of man that keep Christians seated instead of sent.

With pastoral wisdom, he reminds us that this mission isn’t just for professional ministers but for every follower
of Christ, anchored in Jesus’ promise of His constant presence.

Pastor Jim concludes with an urgent challenge to the church: stop waiting and start going, because our workplaces,
neighborhoods, and communities are mission fields ripe for Gospel witness.

The world doesn’t need another comfortable church. It needs a sent church, empowered by the risen King’s authority
and presence.
