Matthew 28:16-20 (NIV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

THE NEED: IN THE CHURCH
![Page 7: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A. LEADERSHIP BROUGHT IN THE CHRUCH
![Page 8: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But Wilkerson, a football coach at the University of Oklahoma was in Dallas for a series of lecture on physical fitness. A TV reporter interviewed him about the president’s physical fitness program and asked him, “What would you say is the contribution of modern football to physical fitness?”
![Page 9: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• But Wilkerson answered, “Absolutely nothing!” Asked to elaborate further, Mr. Wilkerson said, “I define football as 11 men on the field that need rest and 50,000 people in the grandstand who’s desperately need exercise.”

• This, sad to say is typical of many of our churches. In the are of Christian ministry, some people are considered professional Ministers while others are professional Watchers
![Page 11: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• B. LIMITED LEADERSHIP BASE HINDERS FULFILLMENT OF THE VISION.
• Statistic shows that most churches have no more than 15% of their membership actively involved in some type of ministry. The base of these churches in only large enough to adequately service a limited area of ministry.

A FEW REMINDERS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
![Page 13: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We are not consumers shopping for the best product. We are not competitors looking tocompare with the church down the street.
![Page 14: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We are a community passionate about advancing the Kingdom.
We Glorify Christ by MAKING DISCIPLES of all nations.
![Page 15: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The command is clear
![Page 16: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Two words: MAKE DISCIPLES
![Page 17: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Biblical community and biblical mission is inseparable.• Disciple- making is about
sharing life in Christ.
• Disciple- making is about multiplying the life of Christ.
![Page 18: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The command has been compromised
![Page 19: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We are tempted to do everything except the one thing Jesus told us to do in the Great Commission.
![Page 20: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jesus never told us to...... Start Sunday School Form classes Create programs Construct church Building Build colleges, Universities, and seminars Organize conventions Hold conferences
![Page 21: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Jesus did tell us to....
Make Disciples in every part of the world.
![Page 22: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We have two options...
1. Self directed strategies that hope for God’s blessing.
2. A Christ directed strategy that is guaranteed God’s blessing.
![Page 23: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The command in Christ
![Page 24: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
John 17: 4 (NIV)
4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave Me to do.
![Page 25: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
John 17:4 I have finished the work.....
In John 17 Jesus never mentions themiracles He performed or the multitudes to whom He preached, but over 40 times He mentions the Men whom God had given Him out of the world.
![Page 26: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Jesus’ strategy was to revolutionizethe hearts of a few and in the process turn the world upside down.
Disciples cannot be mass- produced.
Jesus spent more time with His disciples than with everybody else in the world put together.
![Page 27: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Jesus devoted himself to a few men, rather than the masses, so that the masses might be saved.
People are God’s method for winning the world to Himself.

The world longs to see a demonstration of Christ that accompanies our explanation of Christ.

Are we discipling or disinfecting Christians?
![Page 44: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Disinfecting isolates Christians in aspiritual safety deposit box called the church building and teaches them to be good.

Disobedience to God's command to reach the entire world.
Wasted lives.

Discipling propels Christians into the world to risk their lives for the sake of others.

The question we must constantly ask as the local church....
How can we most effectively make disciples of all nations?
![Page 49: RUN THE RACE #4 - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58f0340e1a28ab0b738b4603/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

How are you going to multiply the Gospel with your life?
