Matt 28: 19 - “make disciples of all nations” 1:47 - HOW DO WE BECOME CHRISTIAN DISCIPLES? Faith in Jesus to become a child of God (John 1:12). Jesus expects total commitment. Become more like Jesus (Romans 8:28-29). Take up “cross” (Matthew 10:38). 2:48 - WHAT DOES BEING A CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE PRACTICALLY LOOK LIKE? Worship God alone. Attract non-Christians because of your integrity (Matthew 5:13-16). Beyond “lifestyle evangelism” to sharing the gospel with others (Mark 8:38). 5:27 - WHAT TOOLS DO WE HAVE? 1. RELYING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT - allow us to overcome sinful habits and follow God’s Word (Romans 8:13). 2. SCRIPTURE - draws us closer to Lord. 3. PRAYER - Can pray Scripture (Psalms, New Testament prayers). 4. CHURCH FELLOWSHIP - provides opportunities to be discipled by more mature believers. 6:44 - SO WHAT? Jesus calls Christians to live differently than surrounding culture. Thomas À Kempis, The Imitation of Christ: “Jesus always has many who love His heavenly kingdom, but few who bear his cross.” Saint Augustine: A Christian disciple is: “A mind through which Christ thinks. A heart through which Christ loves. A voice through which Christ speaks. A hand through which Christ helps.”  8:19 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? PICK ONE AREA. More time in the Word? More time in the world? Area of sin or struggle?
