So what is God’s vision for the body of Christ? How does he want us to meet together? What does he want us to do?
The authority for the Christian church comes from Jesus
himself, in his final words before his ascension, often called the Great
Commission. Jesus said, “Therefore when you have gone, make
disciples of all the nations (all the Gentiles), baptizing them in the name of
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). We are to go into all the world making
disciples. But what does it mean to be a
disciple?
