Recommitting to the Great Commission: Measuring Success by Kingdom Mission

This sermon challenges believers to measure success in 2026 not by typical metrics like attendance or finances, but by accomplishing the mission Jesus gave His church—making disciples. Drawing from Matthew 28:16-20, the pastor emphasizes that despite past failures and doubts, Jesus recommissions His followers with all authority in heaven and earth. The message calls the church to shift focus from merely meeting physical needs to intentionally sharing the gospel and discipling new believers. Success is defined as faithfully executing the Great Commission through proximity to lost people, bold proclamation of the gospel, and preparation of new disciples. The sermon stresses that this mission doesn't depend on human effort alone but on the authority and presence of Jesus working through His people by the Holy Spirit.
