Chosen To Go

Guest speaker, Jerry Harris reflected on how discipleship within the church shaped his faith journey from a hesitant teenager to a ministry leader. Drawing from Matthew 28:16–20, he reminded us that making disciples is a natural outflow of everyday life—through going, baptizing, and teaching—and urged us to move beyond hesitation, trust Jesus’ authority, and join in God’s mission.

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
