Understanding the True Meaning of the Great Commission

Join Don Hooton as he delves into the final teachings of Jesus and their significance for modern-day Christians.

This sermon challenges common misconceptions, emphasizes the importance of personal evangelism, and encourages believers to share why Jesus is their King in their daily lives. Whether you're new to the faith or a long-time follower, this discussion provides valuable insights into the apostles' commission and its implications for today's Christians.
