Called To Make Disciples

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:16-20 [NIV]

Are we going or are we staying?

“The greatest threat to Christianity is not communism, atheism, materialism, or humanism. The greatest threat to Christianity is Christians trying to sneak into heaven incognito without ever sharing their faith, without ever living out the Christian life, without ever becoming involved in the most significant work God is doing on planet earth.” – James Stewart

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Matthew 5:13

There is a difference between making disciples and making converts.

Disciple [Oxford Dictionary] = ‘learner’ or ‘pupil’

Conversion is a moment, but discipleship is a process.

We cannot replace discipleship with a Church service.

“…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:20
