GO—LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY Acts 1:1-11 At FiveStone we exist to make disciples who CONNECT GROW and GO. There is a danger that every church must resist—turning inward. When we ignore the mission mandate, we become internally focused. (V. 6-7) - We become concerned about ourselves and our interests. When we engage the mission mandate, we become externally focused. (V. 8) - We become concerned for those who have not yet heard the Gospel. - We are obedient to the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20. - We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be witnesses for the Gospel.
