GCM & the Great Commission

January 18, 2019

A Recent Story from One of Our Disciple Makers:

I live in a restricted nation where I serve as a GCM Core Disciple Maker. I have always prayed that God would work in the hospital in the city where I live. I have a huge heart for this hospital and was praying that God would use me to bring spiritual healing there. He did so through a Woman of Peace I am working with.

One evening, when the lady was working at her house, she broke her hand, and she asked me to take her to the hospital. There, they said that she had broken all the bones in her hand, but because it was after hours, there were no doctors there. They took an X-ray of her hand and instructed us to return the next day.

In her pain, I began to pray that God would heal her severely-broken hand. The next morning, we returned to the hospital where a doctor took another X-ray. When he looked at the second X-ray, he was astonished. There was no evidence of any damage. The doctor asked, “How is this possible? There is nothing that shows her hand has ever been broken, and this hand is perfectly healthy.”

Then I started telling the doctor about God, about how He loves people and wants to heal them, and that He is a God of miracles. The doctor said, “I want to hear more.” So, I started sharing the Bible with him. I have faith that soon the whole hospital will come to faith.

*GCM’s Bible studies are a Muslim-focused journey of discovering the true God and His gift of salvation through specific verses of the scripture. Typically, GCM Disciple Makers start Bible studies with spiritually open Muslims (Men or Women of Peace) and their circle of friends and family members. The goal is for this group to eventually accept Christ, be baptized and form a new house church.

Shavuot, Christianity, and the Law

We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:21)

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent who has revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 3:22)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31)

We believe in the creation of mankind in God’s image, and the fall of man, resulting in universal guilt and total depravity; and the necessity, therefore, of redemption and restoration; that all men and women are lost spiritually and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:17)

We believe salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life. (Luke 24:47, John 3:3)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in the presence of our Lord, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church, which has the duty to preach the Gospel to every person. (Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22)

We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of teaching, preaching, the prophetic, the apostolic, and evangelism. (Ephesians 4:11-13)

We believe in upholding the ordinances of the church of water baptism and holy communion.

The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 10:47,48, Romans 6:4)

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements—bread and the fruit of the vine—, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers “till He comes!”
