We begin our sermon series, Concordia, about the Book of Concord and the fundamental beliefs of Lutherans by talking about the three ecumenical creeds at what it means to be “catholic” along with all other people who are baptized into Christ’s name.

Sermon Text: Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission 

[16] Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. [17] And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. [18] And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of th

e Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV)
