Week # 3
Scripture Focus:
“…baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Matthew 28: 19b-20a
Aim For The Week:
- To understand the significance of water baptism in our own life and the importance of it in the disciple making process
- To embrace the level of partnership God desires with us
- To develop a heart to teach, train, disciple those who have been lead to faith in Christ
- To develop a love for God’s word, recognizing that it is His comprehensive rule in every area of our life
Main Point: Making disciples involves Baptism and Teaching
The goal this week is to shed light on the importance of Baptism and Teaching in the grand mission of making disciples
- Jesus shows that baptism is an essential part of disciple making by including it in the commission
- Paul gives theological support so we understand its importance (Ephesians 4:5 & I Corinthians 12:13
- John 14:15-26 expresses the importance in keeping God’s commands
- Obedience is at the heart of being a disciple therefore teaching must be at the heart of making disciples
Putting It Into Practice:
- Have you ever shared your personal testimony (how and why you came to faith in Christ Jesus)
- Could you share it one minute? How about Five minutes?
- Begin a Bible devotional plan and use a Study Bible to help bolster your understanding of scripture (consult with the pastors concerning how to get started)
- Talk with the pastors concerning your gifts, talents and abilities and how they can be utilized in disciple making
Prayer Focus:
"Ask the Holy Spirit to give us confidence in Christ Jesus”
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you peace and confidence along with the words to say whenever the opportunity arises. Give us a sense of urgency similar to Philip (in Acts) as we lead people to the point of baptism and beyond. To be able to help guide new believers along in this disciple process by sharing and teaching God’s commands (His Word).

Week # 2
Scripture Focus:
“Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28: 19a
Aim For The Week:
- To feel spiritually alive while embracing the command to become active in a direct way
- To grow in wonder at the privilege of partnership
- To understand what it takes to “make disciples”
- What did “all nations” mean then and now
Main Point: There must be an intentional response to Jesus’ call to make disciples (not converts) of all people regardless of racial, social, economic backgrounds
The goal this week is to encourage us to be intentional and global in making disciples out of obedience and in response to Jesus’ command
- Its a command
- It will require action, intentionality, commitment and sacrifice. Because building the church of Jesus Christ will not happen accidentally
- we are not merely called to bear witness and convert people to faith but make disciples which implies long term commitment to the process
- All nations, cultures, races, social-economic backgrounds are our target
Putting It Into Practice:
- Do you know someone who needs to hear the gospel that you can begin praying for
- Do you know how to articulate the Gospel in clear, simple terms
- Do you consider yourself to be a disciple (one who is on a journey of learning and transformation to become more like Jesus) If so, are you ready to make more disciples
- What does GO-ing look like to you,
Prayer Focus:
“Ask the Holy Spirit to open up opportunities for you to share the gospel and to provide you with the boldness and wisdom as you share
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you increased boldness and a real sense of wisdom as you share the hope of God’s Love, Grace, and Mercy wrapped up in the message of the cross. Increase your openness to engage with new people who may not look like you and who may come from differing backgrounds and or cultures. To help you define your role in the disciple making process. Help you to lean on the strength and authority of Christ Jesus as you step out on faith to exact this command.

Aim For The Week:
- To see the power of God manifested in your everyday life
- To learn to live in greater dependence on God
Main Point: Jesus has ALL authority
The goal this week is to use Jesus’ declaration of authority to encourage us to move beyond feeling ill-equipped or unqualified to share The Gospel
- It is not about us
- It is about the power of the one commissioned us
- See how before He commissions the disciples (us) He reminds them (us) of who He is and who has the authority to send them (us)
- Fear and anxiety dissipate when we grasp and understand His authority
Putting It Into Practice:
- Would you commit to praying about your role in the great commission and ask God the Father to help you rest in His Would you then consider doing some small or simple act this week in order to make your faith more visible?
Prayer Focus:
“Ask the Holy Spirit to give us confidence in Christ Jesus”
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you real confidence in Jesus’ declaration in today’s passage. To understand that despite your trepidations and doubts, He has authority over everything on earth including the non-believers you will encounter as you share your faith. Be open to the moving of the Holy Spirit and His gifting in you as He makes you aware that you are indeed commissioned to make disciples.
