Require members to live as ministers to
1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Philippians 3:17-19
17 Join with others in following my example, brothers, and
take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again
even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach,
and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
Evangelize the world
Matthew 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Mark 16:15
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good
news to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but
whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my
name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they
drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands
on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up
into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and
the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied
it.
Luke 24:29
But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly
evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
Acts 1:4-8
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave
them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father
promised, which you have heard me speak about.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be
baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you
at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or
dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on
you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
