BY MAKING DISCIPLES
Matthew 28:16-20
Making Disciples of Christ…
• We glorify God as we become like Christ.
• We glorify God as others become like Christ.
• This is what being a disciple of Jesus and making disciples of
Jesus is all about.
m As we receive the Word, we share the Word.
m As we follow the Word, we show the Word.
m As we learn the Word, we teach the Word.
m As we see the world, we serve the world.
• The question we are constantly asking as a church:
m How can we most effectively make disciples of all nations?
• The primary avenue for making disciples in our faith family
is small groups.
m Experiencing biblical community as we show the Word and
teach the Word to each other.
m Accomplishing biblical mission as we share the Word and
serve the world together.
Making Disciples in the Church…
• We are motivated by love.
m Love for God
m Love for each other
m Love for those not yet in the kingdom
• In each of our lives, we take initiative.
m To grow as disciples of Jesus and to give our lives to making
disciples of Jesus
• In all our faith family, we need integration.
m Preschool, Children, Students, Singles, Couples, Parents, Grandparents
Making Disciples in the City…
• We are ministers of mercy.
m The fatherless
m The widow
m The poor
m The sojourner
• The gospel is designed to travel through people, not projects.
• The gospel is declared with a heart of humility, not a sense of
superiority.
Making Disciples as a Christian…
• From the beginning…
m Every follower of Jesus is a fisher of men.
• To the end…
m Every disciple of Jesus makes disciples of Jesus.
• Christ compels us not to come, be baptized, and sit in one
location, but to go, baptize, and make disciples of all nations.
