Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're reading scriptures about the Church living as a missional community. God's people are called, formed and sent to participate in His mission in the world. Each day includes an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, a question for reflection and a daily prayer. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Day 16 – The Great Commission

Reflect: “Jesus sends His disciples to make disciples of all nations. What does this involve beyond simply inviting people to attend church?”

Psalm 96

1Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.2Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. 4For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.5For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.6Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. 7Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.8Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.9Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.10Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. 11Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.12Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.13Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Matthew 28:16-20

The disciples commissioned to go16The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee were Jesus had instructed them to go.17When they saw Him they worshipped Him, but some still had doubts.18Jesus told them: "All heavenly and earthly authority has been given to Me.19So now I tell you to go and make disciples in every nation. Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.20Teach them to obey all that I have taught and commanded you. And be assured of this: I am always present with you, even to the end of this age."

Thank you Jesus, that You make us a people who know and live in Your love, proclaim Your good news, welcome the stranger, serve our neighbours and participate together in Your mission. Show us those You are reaching, and give us eyes to see, ears to hear, courage to respond and love for the people around us.
