Discussion Questions

  1. Understanding the Command: What does it mean to “go and teach all nations” in today’s context? How can we apply this command in our daily lives?

  2. Personal Reflection: In what ways do you feel called to share the Gospel? Are there specific groups or communities you feel burdened to reach out to?

  5. The Power of Christ: Reflect on the statement, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” How does understanding Christ’s authority empower you to share your faith?

  6. Baptism and Discipleship: Why is it important to teach before baptizing? How does this principle shape our understanding of discipleship in the Church?

  7. Personal Commitment: What sacrifices might you need to make in order to be more involved in mission work, whether locally or globally? How can you prepare yourself to answer the call to serve?
