Why We Make Disciples (And Why You Should Too) // Matt Bustamante
Jesus called His followers to a life of purpose, power, and action. In this series, we'll journey through Christ’s Great Commission, exploring how each of us is invited to take part in the mission He entrusted to His Church. From our closest circles to the farthest nations, Jesus commands us to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach—all by His authority and through His power.
The world needs the light and hope of Jesus. This is more than a message series—it’s a call to take up the mission that Jesus left for us. Will you say “yes” to His invitation?

In this message, Matt Bustamante shares 7 aspects of disciple-making that can fuel our journey as we seek to make disciples personally.
