Dr. Jeff Hubing explores Matthew 28, arguing that the Great Commission is more than evangelistic preaching; it is a call to make disciples through relational intimacy. By modeling Jesus' life, we are called to build an international family that operates under His authority and reflects the culture of the Kingdom of God.

• 1Discipleship is primarily about building a family, not just running a religious organization or sharing information.
• 2The Kingdom of God is a present reality that we enter and learn to live in as citizens with a new culture.
• 3The Great Commission requires us to invite people into our actual lives, sharing meals and daily activities, not just a church service.
• 4The church is a people-group (assembly) defined by their relationship to the King, not a physical location or building.
• 5Jesus’ supreme authority and constant presence are the guarantees that the mission of making disciples will succeed.
