Matthew 28:18-20 [NLT]

Big Idea

We are a family of missionary servants sent as disciples, who make disciples.

Matthew 28:18-20 [NLT] Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Focus: Disciples, who make disciples.

What is a disciple?

What discipleship is NOT:

1. Church

2. Just church service or a Bible study

Two takeaways:

1. Discipleship must intentionally happen of church service/programs.

2. Church service/programs are meant to discipleship & provide avenues for believers to connect and begin to develop relationships.

What is discipleship?

Learning to increasingly reflect the image of Jesus by moving from unbelief to belief in the gospel in every area of life, changing what you love and how you live.
