Reach Two
“A Flawed Plan?”
Matthew 28:16-20

Where would you be if someone hadn’t reached out to you?

My life sermon…
	“God is right here; take the next right step; intentionally reach people”

Reach Two
	Not about a growth strategy
	Not about the connected
	Not about being OK with people disconnected from God

The Bible’s Story
	God created & became a friend (Genesis 1-2)
	We shattered the friendship (Genesis 3-11)
	God still loves & promises a savior (Genesis 12-Malachi)
	Jesus reconciles the friendship (Matthew-John)
	God instructs the Church to reach people (Acts-Revelation)

When we connect with God, His plan is for us to help disconnected people connect to Him!

Reach
	Pray for
	Help
	Influence
	Spend time
	Invite

Matthew 28:16-20

“…disciples went to Galilee…” - v. 16

We should regularly set aside time to evaluate life - Lent
	I have made __________ most important
	I need to make __________ my priority

“…but some doubted.” - v. 17

Doubt does not disqualify you…
	From God
	From worship
	From finding your purpose and meaning

“All authority…given to me (Jesus)…make disciples…” v. 18-19

Our purpose in life is to reach others with God’s help.
	“Go” is not a geographic command, but a spiritual command.
	A disciple is one who follows, learns, and imitates.

Mind Bender…
	What you do is not who you are.
	Who you are leads to what you do.
