A Christ-Directed Mission

David Platt
About this episode

Jesus has given the church the task of making disciples of all nations. Many Christians view this as a task for pastors, missionaries, or other specially gifted Christians, but the Great Commission isn’t just for a select few. In this message from Matthew 28:16–20 from David Platt, we’ll see that every Christian has a part to play in making disciples in their own neighborhood and among all nations. Yet, this is not a mission we came up with or that we carry out in our own strength. We go in the sovereign authority of Jesus, and we rely on the presence of Jesus. He has promised to be with his church to the end of the age.
