Summary
The sermon emphasizes that the Great Commission has two parts: evangelism and teaching others to live according to everything Jesus commanded. The speaker uses the analogy of a carpenter's shop to illustrate that merely having many 'legs' (converts) without building 'tables' (disciples who live right) leaves the work incomplete. A key warning is given against the sin of pride and the desire for human admiration, noting that the only one to be worshipped is the Lord God, as Jesus taught.

Teaching all that Jesus commanded as the neglected half of the Great CommissionThe Great Commission requires not only making disciples and baptizing them, but also teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.Matthew 28:20Mark 16:15
The carpenter shop illustrationUsing an analogy of a carpenter shop making too many table legs and not enough tabletops, the speaker shows how evangelism without discipleship leaves the work incomplete.
You cannot serve God and MammonJesus taught that no one can serve two masters when those masters are God and material wealth, requiring a radical attitude toward money.Matthew 6:24
The third temptation: Bowing down for the kingdoms of the worldSatan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would fall down and worship him, mirroring the authority Adam handed over in Eden.
The origin of sin and the desire for human admirationSin originated when Lucifer desired worship and admiration for himself, a dangerous trap that preachers and believers still fall into today.
Worship the Lord your God and serve Him onlyJesus rebuffed Satan by stating that only God must be worshiped, guarding against the error of making men or angels into mediators or objects of admiration.Matthew 4:10Revelation 22:8
Having a direct connection with God under the New CovenantUnlike the Old Testament where people needed priests and prophets to find God's will, the New Covenant allows every believer to know God personally and directly through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Praise and thanksgiving versus true worshipWhat many churches call a worship service is actually praise and thanksgiving expressed through the body and soul, whereas true worship goes deeper.
Worshiping the Father in spirit and in truthJesus explained to the Samaritan woman that the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth, penetrating beyond the soul and body into the most holy place of fellowship.John 4:23–24
Desiring nothing on earth but GodA true worshiper echoes the Psalmist in desiring nothing in heaven or on earth besides God, remaining perfectly content with whatever circumstances and provisions the Lord provides.
The four steps of our communion with GodSpiritual communion ascends through four levels: prayer for needs, thanksgiving for blessings, praise for who God is, and worship in silence or surrender.
Seeking God's kingdom first instead of worldly gainWhen people relentlessly chase worldly honor and material gain, they end up worshiping the devil, whereas seeking God's kingdom leads Him to supply all genuine needs.Matthew 6:33
Learning to be content with what we haveLike the Apostle Paul, a true worshiper learns contentment and lets God determine the earthly measures that will not destroy them.
