3. Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

4. (20) Teaching them to observe all things what-soeverI have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

5. Six Simple Things • There is a Lord to be recognized. • There is a world to be reached. • There is a message to be delivered. • There are souls to be saved. • There is a life to be lived. • There is an eternal hope to be reached.

6. Mark 16:15-16 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.(16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

7. Luke 24:46-47 “And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: (47) And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

8. John 20:23 “Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

11. It Is A Fact! Every institution must comply with the conditions of its charter or forfeit its right to exist! What is the charter of the Lord’s church? Luke 19:10 The church without missions is a self-contradiction!

12. The Beating Heart? Numbers? Notoriety? Beautiful Buildings? Different Kinds Of Ministries? Programs Of All Sorts? NO!The Continual Presence Of The Church’s Founder Is Only Promised To Certain Ones On Certain Conditions - Matthew 28:20!

13. Significant Facts! • Mission work never does cost anything! • The increased giving, the increased prayer, and the increased interest in the true mission of the kingdom always brings in enough to support the missionaries! • God will see that we have all we need when we are doing His will!

14. The Network! Romans 10:13-15 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

15. Described Here Is A Network! Intertwining hearts and hands to carry the one & only saving message: some must go & some must send! Both are equally essential to the network!

16. The Network! If you were lost, and your salvation depended on your getting the gospel to yourself, would you have any hope of being saved?

21. (20) And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil. (21) And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.”

22. (22) Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.”

23. (23) Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand. (24) For who will hearken unto you in this matter?”

24. “But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike. (25) And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.”
