Designed for Discipleship

September 01, 2024

Big Idea: Jesus is calling you (yes, you!) to make disciples.

 

            Matthew 28:16-17

 

A Great Claim

            Matthew 28:18

            Philippians 2:9-11

 

 Authority over:

  • Heaven
  • Earth
  • You

 

 A Great Commission

            Matthew 28:19a

 

 A disciple is someone who follows Jesus by:

  • connecting in Jesus-centered relationships
  • growing to become more like Jesus
  • going to do what Jesus calls them to do

 

 How do we “make disciples”?

  1. Invite them into a public relationship with God.
    Matthew 28:19b
  2. Invite them to give their allegiance to Jesus.
    Matthew 28:20a
    Matthew 4:17

 

A Great Comfort

            Matthew 28:20b

            Matthew 1:23

 

 Who are you with?

 

The best discipleship ability is availability.

 

How to find a disciple/discipler

  • Don’t be weird about it
  • Keep it simple/take it slow
  • Give them permission to say “no”
  • Pray, pray, pray!

 

            Matthew 9:38
