Preparing for the Great Harvest

Text: Matthew 28.18-20, Philippians 4.9

Pay attention to: -healing -deliverance -discipleship

The more people we disciple, the more dominion we have over the earth.

Disciple- learner, student, follower of Jesus, growing in love, learning to trust Jesus until they are totally devoted to Him

We have a responsibility to make a difference in the earth. There is work to do besides having meetings.

To become a Christian is the experience of a moment. But to be a Christian is the experience of a lifetime.

A sign of a mature disciple is when they are willing to reach out to other people.

What makes a disciple? -one who is following Christ -one who is being changed by Him -one who is living out His mission with Him -one who is leading others to do the same

Healthy things grow. Healthy things reproduce.

It takes six things from the pattern of Jesus’ life with the disciples. -Be better at building relationship -Teach what’s expected of a child of God -Model how to live a pattern of family life -Demonstrate and Empower -Give an assignment and release -Time -Holy Ghost

Attributes of a Disciple -submit to a teacher who teaches them to follow Jesus -learn Jesus’ words -learn Jesus’ ways of ministry -find and teach others to follow Jesus
