INTRODUCTION

You were MADE FOR M.O.R.E.! When you follow someone, you tend to become like them. Following Jesus moves you from where you are to where you need to be as His follower. Jesus asked the twelve disciples to follow Him because He knew they were MADE FOR M.O.R.E. Just like He asked them, He asks each of us who believe in Him for salvation to follow Him as well. He gave us all one task – go and make disciples who make disciples. The essence of discipleship is a changed life that comes from a transformed heart.

This four-part teaching series will help you understand what it means to be a disciple who makes disciples.

Memory Verse:

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,” —Ephesians 3:20
