Just before He left his disciples, Jesus charged them with these words… "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20)

Right there at the beginning of what's called "The Great Commission" is one little word, a direct exhortation by Jesus Himself, telling the church that we should Go.

At The Vine we don't believe that Sunday lasts 24 hours.

As part of the worldwide body of Christ, we're "on-call" each and every day… 24, 7, 365… so to speak. And the application of all that we learn and express is a lifelong process.

It's easy to live the Christian life like a trivia game: learning answers and definitions, getting little pieces of pie to put in our game token as we move around the board.

But how does playing that game advance God's Kingdom here on earth?

How does playing that game conform a person more and more into the image of Christ?

It doesn't. Only by "go"-ing and applying yourself do those things happen.

The Vine Church accepts the challenge Jesus gave. We will apply… so that people may be transformed.
