    We need to remember what the old time Saints taught from the Word of God and not let these truths be forgotten. People like Lester Sumrall and Billy Graham and the old time saints that we personally have known and looked up to.

    The Great Commission

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

     | 9,637 views

    From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

    This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

He likes them because he thinks they are a great means to convert Christians into lifelong missionaries, whether they travel to another land or stay ...read more
