God calls us to BE disciples MAKING disciples, in all of life!
1. Driven by worship
The Great Commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) empower us in the Great Commission!
Passionate worship is contagious!
Disciples long for Jesus’ presence – to see Him and be near Him!
Our worship of Jesus instills us with His heart for the lost (Luke 19:10).
2. Driven by belief
What characterizes you?
- Our beliefs shape us.
- Actions demonstrate beliefs.
Baptism portrays a change in identity because of a change in belief.
Do I really believe that what I believe is really real?
3. Driven by authority
Jesus’ authority is not about a new rulebook, but our empowerment through obedience!
Jesus demonstrated His powerful authority in His resurrection (Romans 1:4) and shared it with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8)!
We grow as disciples and reproduce disciples through teaching (2 Timothy 2:2)!
4. Driven by urgency
God uses us where we are, in the midst of our life context!
As you go…
- But you need to move! (It takes action)
- But you need to speak up! (Faith comes by hearing)
Are you too busy for what matters most? (*Luke 10:29-37*)
