Disciples, Get Your House In Order

Sermon by Pastor Chastity ParksWhat does it actually mean to make disciples, and is the Great Commission still relevant for believers today? This message digs into the biblical meaning of discipleship, why so many Christians are waiting when they should already be moving, and how the condition of our homes and hearts directly affects our ability to lead others toward Christ.The Greek word for making disciples means to teach, train, and invest in people so they can grow in their faith and reproduce that growth in others. The Great Commission in Matthew 28 was not a one-time command for the twelve apostles. Because Jesus promised to be with His followers until the end of the age, every believer is called to make disciples right now, wherever they are.Topics covered include: - The biblical definition of a disciple and what it means to make one - Why the Great Commission applies to every Christian, not just church leaders - How to stop waiting for someone else to go first - The role of church leadership in equipping believers for ministry - Why discipleship starts at home before it starts anywhere else - The danger of trying to control others instead of trusting God - What healthy discipleship looks like, including how to release someone to their next season - Why you do not have to be perfect or have everything figured out to begin discipling othersWhether you are a pastor, a small group leader, a parent, or someone who has never thought of yourself as a discipler, this message is for you. God has placed things in your hands that are meant to be used. The world is waiting for what He has put in you.Keywords: discipleship, Great Commission, Matthew 28, how to make disciples, Christian growth, spiritual maturity, church leadership, Ephesians 4, equipping the saints, mentorship, biblical discipleship, following Jesus, Christian living, faith, Holy Spirit, spiritual formation, small group ministry, Christian mentoring, growing in faith, obedience to Godhttps://www.ffc.church (Our Website) https://www.facebook.com/freedomfellowshipokc (Follow us on Facebook) Were you blessed by this message?
