This Powerpoint Presentation hopefully will edify and equip the saints for the work of service for the building up of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12+) and enable all of us to fulfill Jesus' last command to MAKE DISCIPLES (matheteuo in the aorist imperative - see our continual need to depend on the Holy Spirit to obey) (Mt 28:19+) who will have the "tools" to then go and make other disciples (2 Ti 2:2+)! Can there be any activity in this short time on earth which to effectively Redeem the Time (Eph 5:16+) and thereby yield the incredible reward of "lasting fruit" (Jn 15:16NLT) forever and ever in Heaven (cf Mt 6:19-21+)? I can think of none that surpasses Spirit enabled obedience to the last command of our Redeemer and King, the Lord Jesus Christ! May Your tribe of disciple making men and women increase far more abundantly beyond all that you could even ask or think, according to the Spirit's power which mightily works within you. In Jesus' Name. Amen (Eph 3:20+)!
