Matthew 25:16-20

This sermon emphasizes that while Christians have unique spiritual gifts, all share one mission—the Great Commission: to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19 ). Rather than obsessing over finding a singular, individualized “purpose,” believers are called to apprentice under Jesus, learning to live as He lived and do what He did. Drawing from Scripture, statistics, and modern authors, the message challenges Christians to own the mission personally by worshiping Christ as the center of their lives, meeting people in their pain, practicing hospitality, bearing witness through authentic relationships, and living a visibly good and beautiful life. In a culture of loneliness, anxiety, and competing “gospels,” the call is not to correct people as projects but to love them as neighbors—sharing the story of Christ’s grace and demonstrating it practically. Empowered by Jesus’ authority and presence, every believer can participate in God’s slow, transforming work of bringing His kingdom on earth, one relationship at a time.
