The Ultimate Mission
The Ultimate Claim
Matthew 28:16-20
Jesus with all authority leaves us a chance command to make disciples of Jesus. Not a choice but a command. What does it really mean to have all authority? Authority over the natural and super natural worlds. Nothing is not under the authority of Jesus! Not in heaven and nothing on earth that he does not have the power of authority to do what get he wants!
Philippians 2:9-11
The Ultimate Comfort
Matthew 28:20b
Am I comforted by the ultimate comfort? Jesus says he will be with me always!
Jeremiah 32:40
Jesus promises to never leave me but the question is whether or not I will never turn away from God? God wants no one to turn away from Him. The choice is up to me.
Hebrews 13:5
Again, God promises to never leave or forsake me. My job is to not allow anything to come before me and my relationship with God. Am I content with what I have? Money should never be my God!
The Ultimate Command
Matthew 28:19
The last command. All other commands Jesus gave through out his life lead to this one command. I need to hey everything and teach the people around me to obey everything! I'm hear today and have a relationship with God because someone took this command seriously!
Jesus earned the right to worshiped as Lord! His life, his sacrifice, his dirty, all command us to worship him and call everyone around us to make Jesus lord!

Fwd: “Even so the body is not made up of one part but of
Doing Your Part
"Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Now if the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body."
1 Corinthians 12:14-20 NIV

One of the biggest challenges as a bible talk leader is overseeing the body.
As the leader we need to take notice of the members in our group in the same way that we take notice of our own bodies. Just like with your body, you inspect things. You give attention to areas that need attention...etc.
We should be thinking, what does our group need spiritually? How can I help them grow?
Every part of our body is important. Every member in our church needs to feel connected, responsible, valuable to the group.
What are some practical ways we can help our groups feel useful, connected and apart of the body?

- Asking them for impute and ideas.
- Leading prayers.
- Giving them opportunities to lead the bible talk.
- Delegate responsibilities.
Are you looking to see who is at church on Sunday and who isn't? Are you checking up on the people in your group who miss service. We can't claim to be part of a body if we neglect or ignore it.
"There are many parts" we all have a role to play! God has given each of us the talents we have and has placed us in the rolls that we are in.
Let's focus on pulling the body together and making sure that everyone is taken care of, amen?!?
