Seminar 2: Practical Discipleship
What did Jesus mean by “Go and Make Disciples”?? (Matthew 28:18)
*Go and do what Jesus did for us
*Pour your heart into a few people in order to reach many people
Think Big:
Why are you here? God chose for us to exist
Christ as Logos- Logos = Logic of God = Word of God = Jesus
John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
Start Small:
Look into Paul’s Discipleship and Multiplication
**2 Thessalonians 2:7-12, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”
**2 Timothy 2:1-2, “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

Personal Application: Have a plan!
1. Where is this person going? What do I desire to see happen in his life?
2. Where is he now? Spend time with him; journal, and pray
3. What’s the next step? Show them the plan. Commit to each other.
