Living the Vision: Make Disciples Who Make Disciples
Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20

Our mission isn’t just to be disciples — it’s to make disciples who make disciples. That happens not through information alone but through relationship: walking together, sharing life, offering grace, and multiplying faith.

This is the final message in the Living the Vision series, exploring the Great Commission and everyday discipleship when faith is lived in community.

Love isn’t the finishing touch of faith — it’s the foundation.

In this fifth Living the Vision message, we turn to 1 Corinthians 13 and explore what it means to live with love — not just in words, but in every action, decision, and relationship. Paul reminds us that without love, even our best efforts lose their meaning. The question is: Are your words, decisions, and actions shaped by love — or something else?

A real difference isn’t made by quick help—it’s made through connection.

In this fourth Living the Vision message, we turn to Matthew 25:31–46 and explore what it means to follow Jesus by walking with others—not just serving them. Discipleship isn’t about charity. It’s about presence, courage, and long-term transformation. The question is: Are you serving in ways that create connection, or just meeting a need?
