3.2: Discover - The State of the World

The statistics surrounding the Great Commission can be sobering, but they are crucial for us to know. God cannot lead us based on facts we do not know.

We have a solid foundation laid, and at this point it’s crucial that we build upon it by assessing the position in history within which we find ourselves today.

Jesus emphatically declared that the good news of His Kingdom would be proclaimed among all people groups before He would return (Matthew 24:14).

He hasn’t come back yet, so that begs the question: How are we doing with the assignment He entrusted to us?

Video Debrief and Group Discussion

After watching the video, take some time to debrief as a group. Use the following questions to guide your discussion. Encourage everyone to share their thoughts and listen respectfully to one another.

1. What is one word that would describe how you feel after watching the video above? Why?
2. Was there one number or statistic that stood out to you?
3. Why do you think so few of the laborers and resources are going to places with least access to the gospel?

As a group, reflect on how these ideas can be applied to your daily lives and your collective mission.
