Scripture Text
Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Isaiah 43:7, Psalm 67
Main Points or Ideas
Your Life Has Meaning: Created in God's image for His glory, not an accident but designed with purpose
You Were Created for a Purpose: Isaiah 43:7 - created for God's glory; the Great Commission is a command, not suggestion
A Purpose Bigger Than You Imagined: The story of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation shows God's plan to reach all nations; we are part of God's missionary heart
Reasons to Consider Going:
Conclusion
The Great Commission is God's plan from the beginning, and the question should not be whether we have received a special call to go, but rather why we should not go when the command is clear and the need is urgent.
