Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Matthew 28:18

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.

Matthew 28:19-20

Let's Go!

Act III is more than just 

a placeholder to get to 

the better part of the story.

You Can’t Live Act III Alone

God’s bigger life for you  always comes through people.

“I love the idea of Life With Jesus . . . Until it requires life with people.”

Because People are:

~ Complicated

~ Disappointing

~ Needy

~ Weird

~ Painful

Someone Ahead of you

This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

2 Timothy 1:6-7

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:11

Paul isn’t saying, “Watch me.” He is saying,

“Walk with me while I walk with Him.”

Without Someone Ahead of You

Blind spots become permanent

“What you can’t see is what will eventually shape you.”

Someone Beside you

Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch.

Acts 11:25

Encouragement isn’t cheerleading

It is transferring courage.

People beside you help carry weight you were never intended to carry alone

Someone Behind You

Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.

2 Timothy 1:4

Investing in someone behind you doesn’t shrink your life — it expands it.

To live the full life that God has for us we need a cast and crew to walk through life with us.
