5-Day Bible Reading Plan: The Great Hometown Commission

Day 1: The Great Commission - Our Dual Calling

Reading: Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; 2 Timothy 4:5

Devotional: Paul's instruction to Timothy reveals a profound truth: pastoral ministry encompasses both discipleship and evangelism. We are called not only to grow deeper in knowing God but also to make Him known to a lost world. The Great Commission isn't reserved for missionaries alone; it belongs to every believer. Timothy was a pastor, yet Paul commanded him to "do the work of an evangelist." This challenges our compartmentalized view of ministry. Are you investing in both knowing God intimately and sharing Him boldly? Consider someone in your sphere of influence who needs to hear the gospel. Your faithfulness in both discipleship and evangelism transforms communities and nations. The church thrives when we embrace this dual calling with equal passion.
