Commands of Christ Podcast

Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation? As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we’ve received.

Have we embraced Christ’s call not only to follow Him, but to help others do the same? Are we treasuring His commands in such a way that our lives overflow with the desire and ability to make disciples?

Are we actively living out the Great Commission in our own lives? What does it truly look like to treasure Christ’s commands and help others do the same?

As we come to the final command in this rich four-year journey through the words of Christ, we are brought to the heart of it all—making disciples. The Great Commission is not just a call to proclaim salvation, but an invitation to walk with others as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily? As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us.

Are we daily depending on the Spirit of God, or are we still trying to live the Christian life in our own strength? Have we fully surrendered every area of our heart to the Lord, letting Him fill us completely?

Have we truly been born from above, receiving the promise of the Father through faith in Christ? Are we walking in the power of the Spirit, or still striving in our own strength? As we continue meditating on Jesus’ command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), we see that the power of the Holy Spirit flows first from a right relationship with God—through being born again.

Are we living the Christian life in our own strength, or are we truly depending on the power of the Holy Spirit? Have we taken time to tarry before the Lord, to receive His enabling presence?

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin’s power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.

How should baptism be carried out? Baptism is for all who trust in Christ. It is done in water, by immersion, and in His name—not ours—as part of making true disciples.
