We Believe It's Foundational to Outward-Facing Ministry

Why "go" was the hardest word in the Great Commission, then and now.

In this video, Andy Stanley traces why the first Christians almost missed the Great Commission — and what it still costs churches today:

  1. The first Christians didn't go — it took persecution, and a divine push, to scatter them beyond people just like them.

  2. "Biblical" can be used to justify almost anything; "Christlike" leaves no loopholes.

  3. There's no such thing as deep teaching — only deep application.

  4. The resurrection, not the crucifixion, is what actually launched the church.

  5. The guiding question for every decision: are we removing every unnecessary obstacle between people and Jesus?
