Acts 2:46-47
Every day they continued to
meet together in the temple
courts. They broke bread in their
homes and ate together with glad
and sincere hearts, 47 praising
God and enjoying the favor of all
the people. And the Lord added
to their number daily those who
were being saved.

Acts 5:42
Day after day, in the temple
courts and from house to
house, they never stopped
teaching and proclaiming
the good news that Jesus
is the Messiah.
Acts 20:20
You know that I have not
hesitated to preach
anything that would be
helpful to you but have
taught you publicly and
from house to house.

Reformation
Priesthood of the Believers
vs.
Ministry of all Believers
Empowerment
Eph 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held

b. Philosophy of Leadership
(Leaders at all level)
Exodus 18:21
But select capable men from
all the people—men who fear
God, trustworthy men who
hate dishonest gain —and
appoint them as officials over
thousands, hundreds, fifties
and tens.
Exodus 18:22-23
…That will make your load
lighter, because they will share
it with you. 23 If you do this and
God so commands, you will be
able to stand the strain, and all
these people will go home
satisfied."

• WHAT is discipleship?
• WHY we do discipleship?
• HOW we do discipleship.
Discipleship
(What is Discipleship)
• Getting a person established in
the faith so they can:
– FOLLOW JESUS
– FELLOWSHIP with other believers
– FISH for people.
• It is call to have a relationship
with God, God’s people, and
the Lost.
• The QUALITY of our
Christian life is determined
by the QUALITY of
discipleship we have.
• Defective discipleship,
results in DEFECTIVE
Christian lives.
c. Philosophy of Discipleship
(Why Discipleship)
4 Reasons:
1.God’s Command (Matt 28:19)
2.We value people.
3.We value God’s calling in
people
4.There is NO greater legacy in
life than impacting someone’s
life.
Good Christians vs
Productive Christians
The crisis of the church is not
in it's program, the real crisis
is the product.
What kind of Christians are we
raising in the church?
Do they have a passion for the
lost and for the world?
What Accounts for
Strong Discipleship?
1. Understanding
of The CROSS
2. Understanding
The LOVE OF GOD.
a. The Cross
Romans 5:8 But God
demonstrates his own love
for us in this: While we
were still sinners, Christ
died for us.
The Lordship of Jesus
• Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord,
Lord,' and do not do what I say?
• Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who
says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only he who
does the will of my Father who is in
heaven.
• Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all:
"If anyone would come after me, he
must deny himself and take up his
cross daily and follow me.
• Luke 14:27 And anyone who does not
carry his cross and follow me cannot be
my disciple.
• 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of
the cross is foolishness to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God.
• John 12:24 I tell you the truth, unless a
kernel of wheat falls to the ground and
dies, it remains only a single seed. But if
it dies, it produces many seeds.
Lordship
John 12:24
I tell you the truth, unless a
kernel of wheat falls to the
ground and dies, it remains
only a single seed. But if it
dies, it produces many
seeds.
b. Love for God
Luke 7:47
Therefore, I tell you, her many
sins have been forgiven—for
she loved much. But he who
has been forgiven little loves
little.”
• 1 Cor 6:19 Do you not know that
your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you, whom you
have received from God? You are
not your own; 20you were bought
at a price. Therefore honor God
with your body.
• 2 Cor 5: 15 And he died for all,
that those who live should no
longer live for themselves but for
him who died for them and was
raised again.
Our Response:
Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you,
brothers, in view of God's
mercy, to offer your bodies as
living sacrifices, holy and
pleasing to God —this is your
spiritual act of worship.
Admonition
Revelation 2:2-5
2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your
perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate
wicked men, that you have tested those who
claim to be apostles but are not, and have
found them false.
3 You have persevered and have endured
hardships for my name, and have not grown
weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken
your first love.
5 Remember the height from which you have
fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
If you do not repent, I will come to you and
remove your lampstand from its place.
