This sermon focuses in on Jesus' appearance to His 11 remaining disciples on a mountain in Galilee. It begins with some background on Galilee today and in Jesus' day and then looks at the Great Commission itself. We specifically explore the reluctance of Jesus' disciples to go and make disciples of all nations and consider our reluctance both to go and to make disciples.

The Church of Jesus Christ - Chapter 1 - The State of The Church Joseph Asoh
The Church belongs to Jesus Christ. The Church is the assembly of the Saints of God. The Saints are those persons that have been redeemed by Jesus Christ by way of repentance from all sins, acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as Lord as saviour of their lives, commitment to follow and obey all of Christ’s commands, received the Holy Spirit as witness in their hearts and invisible guide to their daily lives. Church The word translated "church" in the English Bible is ekklesia. This word is the Greek words kaleo (to call), with the prefix ek (out). Thus, the word means "the called out ones." However, the English word "church" does not come from ekklesia but from the word kuriakon, which means "dedicated to the Lord." . The Church of Jesus Christ therefore means the Called Out Ones Dedicated To The Lord Jesus Christ As His Assembly (or Embassy) On Earth.
