  1. QUESTION 1 What do you think God wants to see happening in your church?

  2. QUESTION 2 What does the Bible say a church should be doing? Acts 2:38-47

  3. QUESTION 3 What prevents your church from doing what it should and realizing the blessing God wants to provide?

  4. QUESTION 4 What is needed to overcome these hindrances?

  5. MISSION OF GOD • To glorify His Name • To exalt Christ as Lord • To reconcile the world to Himself • To establish His Kingdom

  6. GLORIFY GOD • To glorify God by becoming a life-long, obedient disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, and • To glorify God by making disciples of all nations.

  7. “Make Disciples of All Nations!” “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

  8. Why does the church exist? To fulfill the Great Commission! • “Therefore go and make disciples of ALL nations…” • “Go” versus “Make disciples” Better translation: • “As you are going through the world, be making disciples…”

  9. Making disciples is: • The priority for ALL believers • In a natural way, as a way of life. • Not by teaching, but by BEING A MODEL!

  10. Making disciples is Leading others into a life-long, obedient, personal relationship with Jesus Christ which: • Transforms their character into Christlikeness, • Changes their values into Kingdom values, • Involves them in His mission.

  11. The DNA of Discipleship • 85-96% of Christians still are spiritual babies. • Only 20% have spiritual maturity as a life goal. • 75% of teens leave church at age 19. • Only 1 in 30 Americans have a biblical worldview. • Only 9% of born-again Christians have a biblical worldview.

  12. A worldview is the total set of values, morals, beliefs, and assumptions that a person holds either consciously or subconsciously. • 3 in 5 adults want a deeper spiritual life but are not involved in trying to grow. • 20 million Americans are committed to authentic discipleship.

  13. Where are we in discipleship? • Ignorant: I don’t know. • Apathetic: I don’t care. • Indifferent: So what? • Uncommitted: What’s in it for me?

  14. The Solution • Repentance • A radical return to following Jesus as His disciples • A re-shaping of the worldview of Christians to a biblical worldview

  15. Luke 9:23 (NASB) “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”

  16. 3 Commitments I. Deny yourself:Life in the Spirit! • Repentance in order to experience Christ • Obedience to Christ and His commands • Giving priority to Christ over any person, purpose, or possession • Letting the Spirit control instead of self

  17. II. Take up your cross:Committed to Christ! • Spending time with the Lord • Living in the Word • Praying in faith • Fellowshipping with believers • Witnessing to the world • Ministering to others

  18. III. Follow Me:Making Disciples of All Nations! • Leading others into a life-long, obedient, personal relationship with Jesus Christ which • Transforms their character into Christ-likeness, • Changes their values into Kingdom values, • Involves them in His mission.

  19. What is next? Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20(NIV)

  20. Prayers • To ask God to make me one of His faithful disciples • To be a model • To ask God’s way to make disciples of our churches • To ask God for reaching all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ

  21. “Survival Kit” is… • One of the most effective biblical, theological, and doctrinal foundational resources • The first step of discipleship training • Available in 50 different languages
