The Way of Jesus - Disciples Make Disciples

 

I. Who was it for you?

a. Who made you a disciple?

b. Somewhere along the way, someone invested in you.

c. Maybe it was a parent who read the Bible with you at night.

h. Discipleship is a chain of grace.

 

II. What Are We Actually Called To Do?

a. Matthew 28:18-20 - The Great Commission.

b. Most of us have secretly assumed it was for someone else.

c. The main verb in the passage is "make disciples.”

f. He multiplied. He didn't just make followers. He made disciple makers.
