Matt 28 Ambassadors
Jonathan Pennington · January 4, 2026 · 12:15 PM service
Preaching from the Great Commission in Matthew 28, Jonathan Pennington reminds us that the purpose of a New Testament church is to reach the lost and not become a Jesus-themed social club. He shows from Romans 10, Acts 8, and 2 Corinthians 5 how people cannot be saved without someone sharing the gospel, and he calls believers to take seriously their role as ambassadors for Christ. Pastor Pierucki closes with an exhortation on the urgency of soul winning and the value of printing ministries in getting the Word of God to a lost world.
“Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
