YWAM - Holy Spirit Week 5 Apr 6, 2026 Part 3 Evening

Matthew 28:16-20

MT
Mathew Toller
Teaching Ministry
April 12 2026

The sermon presents the Great Commission as the continuing response to the resurrection rather than a specialist calling for missionaries. Jesus welcomes doubting disciples, declares his authority, and sends them to multiply his life, mercy, forgiveness, patience, and love. Disciple-making is more than transmitting information or studying enemies and world problems; it is helping people encounter and embody the character of Jesus. The mission belongs in meals, friendships, workplaces, families, church community, and dark or overlooked places. Believers do not serve from guilt or a diminished identity, because Jesus calls them friends and promises to remain with them. The Holy Spirit transforms fearful people into courageous witnesses, while the church practices unity, repentance, hospitality, and love so the world can see Jesus through ordinary lives.

  • The resurrection leads directly into Jesus’ continuing mission to make disciples of all nations.
  • Doubt does not disqualify disciples; the Holy Spirit can form fearful people into courageous witnesses.
  • Disciple-making teaches people to live the mercy, forgiveness, love, and commands of Jesus.
  • The Great Commission belongs to every believer and applies in ordinary relationships as well as distant nations.
  • Christian community supports the mission by practicing unity, repentance, hospitality, and love for one another.
  • Jesus sends his people with his authority and promises to remain with them to the end.

Identify one person or setting where Jesus has already placed you as a witness. Ask how your words, presence, hospitality, service, or testimony can help someone see and follow Jesus, then take one practical step this week. As a church member, also suggest one concrete way the community can participate together in making disciples.

Risen Jesus, thank you for entrusting us with your gospel and remaining with us. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, transform our doubt and fear, and teach us to embody everything you commanded. Make our lives and community a faithful witness that welcomes people into your kingdom.
