We continue to seek God for the ministry at Waverly. We are in a time of seeking HIM for practical direction in following the GREAT COMMISSION. To that end we are empowered to go and preach, teach and witness the gospel in our world in Waverly and surrounding area.
Therefore... What is the therefore there for in the GREAT COMMISSION? Yes, therefore is in the GREAT COMMISSION. Not to be confusing and redundant but to focus on the empowering aspect of the GREAT COMMISSION.... Here is the focus of the GREAT COMMISSION,"And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, "ALL AUTHORITY hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth." Christ assures His disciples that HE has all authority in heaven and IN EARTH. That is the assurance we have for the authority and empowerment needed to fulfill the practical aspect and we hear his directive.."Go ye THEREFORE and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20
His disciples then GO in His authority with complete and full empowerment to make disciples and to mentor them to also make disciples. No intimidation, no fear, or distraction can deter His disciples from that GREAT COMMISSION. Waverly is a part of that GREAT COMMISSION.
Now, I ask again what is the therefore there for? The therefore is there for His disciples to remind them that the GREAT COMMISSION is not about them but about HIM and HIS authority. LETS GO!!!!!! IN HIS AUTHORITY!!!!!
