SENT TO GO

The Covenant Call to Obey, Disciple, and Reach One More

Jesus came to save sinners. He calls disciples to follow Him. He forms disciples through obedience. Then He sends disciples to make disciples.

 

Opening

Matthew 4:19 NKJV
“Then He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’”

Follow Me — that is __________________.
I will make you — that is __________________.
Fishers of men — that is __________________.

 

Point 1 — The First Call Is “Follow Me”

Luke 9:23 NKJV
“Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’”

Romans 12:1 NKJV
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”

  • Before Jesus ever said “Go,” He said __________________.
  • Many people want Jesus to guide them but not __________________ them.
  • Obedience is the language of __________________.

 

Point 2 — The New Covenant Forms the Heart of a Disciple

Romans 6:14 NKJV
“For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

Jeremiah 31:31–33 NKJV
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD.
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”

Luke 22:20 NKJV
“Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’”

Hebrews 13:20–21 NKJV
“Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”

  • Obedience is not the price of salvation; Jesus paid that __________________.
  • Obedience is the proof of __________________.
  • The New Covenant does not make obedience optional; it makes obedience __________________.

 

Point 3 — The Mission Is Making Disciples

Matthew 28:18–20 NKJV
“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.”

2 Timothy 2:2 NKJV
“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

Mark 4:14 NKJV
“The sower sows the word.”

  • The Great Commission is not just evangelism; it is __________________.
  • Evangelism scatters the seed, but discipleship tends the __________________.
  • Discipleship is not complete when someone learns; it is complete when someone can help another person __________________ Jesus.

 

Point 4 — The Holy Spirit Empowers Sent Disciples

Acts 1:8 NKJV
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me…”

  • Jesus did not begin with our ability; He began with His __________________.
  • When authority sends you, authority __________________ with you.
  • The Holy Spirit is given for more than a moment at the altar; He is given for a __________________ in the world.

 

Point 5 — The Call Is to All Available Disciples

Luke 19:10 NKJV
“for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Matthew 28:20 NKJV
“and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  • The call is not for all perfect disciples; it is for all __________________ disciples.
  • The question is not, “Am I impressive?” The question is, “Am I __________________?”
  • The church is not only called to gather; the church is called to __________________.

 

Closing

Jesus is still saying:

Follow Me.
I will make you.
Fishers of men.

Young convert — will you become a __________________?

Young pastor — will you make disciples, not just gather __________________?

Leader — who is your __________________?

Church — who is closer to Jesus because you said __________________?

Final

Follow Me is the call.
I will make you is the process.
Fishers of men is the mission.

Lord, help us reach one more.
