Tuesday
Scripture: 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Point of Focus: Matthew 28:18-20 is about the Great Commission. The Great Commission is only possible because Jesus has all authority. Therefore, when we tell people about Jesus, we can be confident that God is using our faithfulness to build His kingdom on earth.

Thursday
Scripture: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
