Commissioned To Multiply

Luke 24:44–49 44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. 46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Because God has commissioned us to participate in His mission, we must make disciples appropriately.

1. Disciple Making Is Rooted In The Scripture (44-45)

2. Disciple Making Is Founded On The Gospel (46)

3. Disciple Making Requires (Necessitates) The New Birth (47)

4. Disciple Making Must Be Personally Experienced (48)

5. Disciple Making Must Be Empowered By The Spirit (49)

Call to Action

1. Seek to grow as a disciple

2. Identify someone you can begin to disciple
