    The Business at Hand #5 – Being Empowered by the Holy Spirit

    Luke records our last account of the King's final instructions for the disciples just before his ascension. After recounting many details we've heard previously from Matthew, Mark, and John, Luke makes this distinct and important contribution to the business at hand – the King doesn't intend for us to do this on our own. We must first wait to be filled with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Business at Hand #2 – Discipling

    Matthew 28 records the first account of the King's final instructions for his disciples before his ascension. This "Great Commission" is simply this: Make Disciples.

    Today's episode is simply an exercise in hearing what Jesus had to say:
    1. Everyone is to BE a disciple. And every disciple is to MAKE disciples of everyone else. Even the doubters.
    2. Discipleship is a life of OBEYING and ABIDING.
    3. Disciples must be MADE. Anything and everything new disciples should say and do and be, we must M.A.D.E: Model. Assist. Deploy/Debrief. Entrust.
