What happens when you reach the summit only to discover there is another mountain ahead? In this sermon on Matthew 28:16–20, Jesus meets his disciples on a mountain in Galilee after the resurrection and gives them what we now call the Great Commission. Though they worship him, they also doubt—a powerful reminder that faith and uncertainty often coexist.
Drawing on a story about a business leader who was always looking toward the next challenge, this message explores how the disciples were called to continue Jesus' mission even when they felt exhausted and unprepared. What does it mean to "make disciples" today? It means more than sharing beliefs; it means embodying the way of Jesus through prayer, compassion, hospitality, justice, and love.
As individuals and as a church, we are continually invited to look beyond the mountain we've climbed and toward the next one God places before us—trusting that Christ goes with us every step of the journey.
