MESSAGE: The Great Commission | April 12, 2026

The first week of the “Last Words” series explores Jesus’ final words in Matthew, revealing that we were not created to spend our lives chasing things that fade, but to participate in work that lasts for eternity. By tracing the story from creation to the fall, we see how sin turned meaningful, life-giving work into exhausting toil, leaving us striving for fulfillment that never satisfies. But through Jesus and the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven, our purpose is restored—not just to receive redemption, but to join in it. In His final words, the Great Commission, Jesus invites us into this renewed purpose: to labor alongside Him in making disciples and bringing His love to the world. Ultimately, true fulfillment is not found in success, security, or achievement, but in living as sent people—using our everyday lives to invest in what will never fade and has eternal impact.
