The Kingdom of Heaven and the Mission of the Church

We come to a new section in Matthew’s gospel. Throughout Matthew chapter ten, Jesus gives specific instruction to the twelve Apostles for their unique ministry. Nevertheless, these words are recorded for us because they will have ongoing significance for the church. Jesus laid the foundation of his church, and he is continuing to build it with his own authority through the gospel. The church must never lose sight of its mission and goal. The text is Matthew 10:1-15, the message is: The Kingdom of Heaven and the Mission of the Church.

We will consider these points:
1. The kingdom apostles
2. The kingdom domain.
3. The kingdom method.
4. The kingdom authority.
5. The implications for the church today.
