Some people say that there is a command to make disciples in the Bible, but there is no command to go and plant churches. Is really church planting that important? Though there is no explicit command in the Bible to go and plant churches, biblical record leaves no mistake that church planting is essential to God's salvation purposes and the fullfilment of the Great Commission. In this section of the lecture "Biblical Foundations of Church Planting" Craig Ott: - explains the role of church planting in the salvation history and the continuity of God's purposes; - quotes biblical passages where Christ states his explicit will regarding the church; - shows how the Book of Acts demonstrates that new churches are the normal and necessary result of biblical evangelism and mission; - looks at two aspects of the Great Commission as formulated in Matthew 28:18-20; - explains the grammar in Acts 2:47 and the meaning of the word "added".
