MAKE DISCIPLE - the secret to making disciples
MATTHEW 28 (NIV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

“DISCIPLESHIP MISSION” CHURCH
The Great Commission calls the church of Christ to a missionary vision, and it also provides the paradigm for the ministry of the local church.
The Great Commission calls every believer (men, women, teenagers & children) to not only be a disciple of Christ, but in doing so, they are also purposed to be a disciple-maker!
“I am with you always”
HEBREWS 10 (NLT)
4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. … 9 Then (Jesus) said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. 10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
HEBREWS 13 (NIV)
1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters … 5 , because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
“Remember, you’re not alone. God wants you to view the other Christians in your life as partners in ministry. God has not called you to make disciples in isolation; He has placed you in the context of a church body so that you can be encouraged and challenged by the people around you. And you are called to encourage and challenge them in return.” ~ Francis Chan
“A private approach to spirituality is pervasive, even among Christians who are in discipleship community: 46 percent still say they consider their spiritual lives to be private, and that percentage climbs for younger Christians who are making disciples.” ~ “Growing Together” Barna Research, 2022.
