Disciple Making


Three Things to Remember About Disciple Making:


1. Witnessing (Go): Teaching someone about personal relationships

1 Peter 4:10: Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.

1 Corinthians 9:22 (LB): “Whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ, and let Christ save him.”



2. Mentoring (Make): Teaching someone to do what you do.

When Jesus called the disciples, He said, “Come follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”



3. Investing (Teaching obedience): Teaching someone to be what you are, and that is a continual process. It’s not about a small circle of people – it’s about everyone.

1 Timothy 1:15a: Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners …

John 3:16a: “For God so loved the world …”

1 John 2:2: He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 Timothy 2:5–6: … the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men …

Go and make disciples. Amen?
