IT'S NOT OVER 'TIL GOD SAYS IT'S OVER (Ezek. 37)

SERIES: HOPE RENEWED
ESPERANZA RENOVADO: NO HAD TERMINADO HASTA QUE DIOS HA DICHO QUE HA TERMINADO
In the vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, God engages Ezekiel in dialogue and asks him a question. It is the same question that God is asking everyone of us who finds ourselves facing and impossibility in our lives. The question the Lord is asking is: "can these bones live?"

Today, as we consider that question, I pray that we would be strengthened in the Lord to hope again in a God who does the impossible.

ALL NATIONS...ALL HE HAS COMMANDED, Part 2 (Matt. 28:18-20)

"Todas las Naciones ... A Todas El Nos Ha Mandado, Segunda Parte"
These verses, generally referred to as the Great Commission, are repeated in some form in all four of the Gospels, and in the Book of Acts.

As we look at each of the five renerdings of the Great Commission, we find a recurring emphasis on the word "all." This message looks at two of those "alls" (All That He Commands, and All That We Can Do)and what they mean for us today.

ALL NATIONS...ALL I HAVE COMMANDED (Matt 28:18-20)

The mission of God is to save sinners and bring them into right relationship with Himself. That is what the Great Commission is about. It is about Christ sending us into the world to fulfill the mission of God, to seek and to save that which was lost.

As we look at each of the five renderings of the Great Commission in Scripture, we find a recurring emphasis on the world "all." We are going to look at three of those "all's" (all people, all generations, and all authority), and what they mean for us today.
