09 1d: Obey all of Jesus' commands above and before all else

Lay a foundation of childlike, loving obedience to Jesus' basic commands, and build all other ministries and teaching on it. His commands are:

*Find in Matthew 7:24-29 evidence that building on the Rock (Jesus) is to be equated with obeying His commands.

Find in Matthew 28:18-20 all that new disciples of Jesus are to do.

*Find in Acts 2:37-47 instances where the first converts began at once to obey all of Jesus' commands.

*Find in Matthew 15:1-20 an example of placing tradition above the commands of God, and what Jesus thought of that.

Making Disciples who Obey Jesus in Childlike Love. Our supreme Commander Jesus Christ orders us with all authority in heaven and earth to make disciples by teaching them to obey all His commands, Matthew 28:18-20. Cited from Church Multiplication Guide, Patterson and Scoggins, William Carey Library, Pasadena, CA, USA, Chapter 05, Section 01. Click the explanation you want now, of why Jesus commands us to make obedient disciples and how to do it:

Give ministry leaders a work sheet on which they indicate how their ministry activities fulfill a command of Jesus or of his apostles.

If that cannot be shown for an activity, then the activity may not be necessary, it is certainly not required.
Give attention to ministries that obviously fulfill New Testament requirements.
Initiate ministries for New Testament requirements that are currently neglected.
