Fulfilling The Great Commission

Course Description:

Evangelism today is on the wane in the United States, and the so-called "Great Commission" is under siege.  In scholarly circles, it is argued that since the commandment to "make disciples" appears in the Bible only once and since conversion happens exclusively by a work of the Holy Spirit, there is no need for the Church to be evangelistic or send out missionaries anymore.  This motivational course offers a biblical theology of evangelism that is designed to revive the fervor of God's people.  Special emphasis is placed on how to introduce family members to the hope that is found in no one else, but Jesus.

Guiding Questions:

• What exactly is the Great Commission?   

• How could anyone think Christianity is oppressive, exploitative and racist?

• How costly is discipleship?  How rewarding is it?

• How can believers encourage their family members to follow Jesus Christ?
