5 Reproducing Disciples of Jesus Christ Matthew 28:19-20

6 Theological Basis for Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

7 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 28:19-20 (NIV)

8 Fellowship Bible Church reproduces disciples of Jesus Christ by inviting people into God s Story to be tied to Christ and transformed into His image.

9 Disciple = Learner

10 A Disciple is Connected to Jesus Through a Cross.

11 Then He called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:34-36 (NIV)

12 Then He called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:34-36 (NIV)

13 Therefore, to take up one s cross was to die to one s own agenda. Jesus calls his followers to do this daily. Chuck Swindoll

14 Then He called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:34-36 (NIV)

15 A Disciple is Connected to Jesus Through a Yoke.

16 All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:27-30 (NIV)

17 All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:27-30 (NIV)

18 A yoke is not a sitting instrument; it is a walking instrument. Jesus does not say, Take my chair and learn from me ; he says, Take my yoke and learn from me, which means that as we seek to live in obedience to Jesus we learn from Jesus along the way. Dale Bruner
