Understanding the Mission

Paya Lebar Methodist Church Youth Ministry

The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said,

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matt 28: 19,20

The Great Commandment

Jesus replied:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:

Love your neighbour as yourself.

Matt 22: 37-40

Five Purposes of the Ministry

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart is a call to WORSHIP. 2. Love your neighbour as yourself is a call to MINISTRY. 3. Go and make disciples of all nations is a call to EVANGELISM. 4. Baptising them (into the Body of Christ) is a call to FELLOWSHIP. 5. Teaching them to obey is a call to DISCIPLESHIP.
