All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 4 of 80) - Zac Poonen

The sermon argues that fulfilling the Great Commission requires equal emphasis on both evangelism (reaching the lost) and discipleship (teaching them to do all Jesus commanded). The speaker uses the analogy of food digestion to illustrate that evangelism is merely putting food in the mouth, while discipleship—the work of teaching and nurturing—is the necessary process of digestion that transforms a convert into a functioning member of the body of Christ. Therefore, all ministries are equally vital, as no single part of the body can function without the others.
