Topical style teaching utilizing Matthew CH 28:16-20 as our anchor verses for the Church, while expounding on Mark CH 16:15-18 in order to show how these verses are addressing the Apostles and not the Church as a whole based on who Jesus is addressing within the text. This teaching will discuss a practical approach when using the gospels synoptically that should aid in identifying distinctions when topics are closely related such as these, which has led to a failure regarding the Church acting upon the true challenge associated with the great commission.
