Purpose:
The purpose of the Member Development Ministry is to build the
true believers foundation of faith. In order to accomplish this
task, we follow the great commission given by Jesus Christ our Lord
and Savior.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying
, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth . 19
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them
in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit , 20
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo , I am
with you always , even to the end of the age .”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NASB95)
The very essence of the Great Commission is as follows:
- As a disciple, a believer, one is to deny himself and make
Christ master of his/her life and then make other disciples
(followers of Christ).
- “Go” means to pursue the journey of which one has
entered. This is the life one lives whether he leaves his
neighborhood or travels the world.
- “Baptizing them” is the life long teaching (immersion)
from one disciple to another that produces a permanent, real life
change, a union and identification with Christ.
- “Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you” As
a disciple, Christ has entrusted us to teach not only His word but
to teach obedience. A true believer in Christ must learn to attend
carefully to all that the Lord has commanded.
