Jesus 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, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And take note, I will be

with you always, to the end of the age.”

(Matthew 28:18-20)

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;

He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead.

The Apostle’s Creed

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father,

and he will come again,to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life. Amen.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to

the breaking of bread and the prayers. (Acts 2:42)

You Were Designed for Discipleship

Whether something is made by God, or made by the hands of man, everything is designed with and for a purpose.

You were too.


Although everything is designed with and for a purpose, we don’t always do (or use) things according to their design.


Every company, store business and organization has a mission and a great commission.


Every company, store business and organization has a mission and a great commission.

The Church and Christians do too.


Jesus was sent with two very specific assignments from God the Father:

#1 was to: Make Disciples (that make disciples)

and#2 was to: Go To The Cross


I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.

(John 17:4)


These Are Not:• suggestions • good ideas• proposals• propositions• motions• offers• or hints

As God the Father gave Jesus explicit commands and instructions….

We too have been given explicit commands and instructions….


18 Jesus 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 you can count on it, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

(Matthew 28:18-20)


Both individual Christians and the church have been commanded to make disciples……

And for the most part we have ignored, fumbled and radically failed at obeying this command.


The church needs to be a place where it’s OK, not to be OK.

It’s not OK to stay that way, but it’s OK to be real and to work things out!


We are more interested in the person of Jesus than the purpose of Jesus.

• Head Knowledge. (Almost all…)• Heart Knowledge. (Some…)• Hand Knowledge (Few…)

We’ve got to realign ourselves with the purpose of Jesus and of the Church!


How To Restore God’s Priorities In Your Life And In The Church:

#1— We acknowledge that we were designed for discipleship.#2— We pursue not just the person of Jesus but the purpose of Jesus.#3— We take seriously Jesus’ Command to make disciples.#4— We study and do what Jesus did.


Jesus’ Prayer in John 17:4-9

4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.



6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.



8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.


Breaking It Down And Doing What Jesus Did:

1. Bring Glory To God By How You Live Your Life. (v4)2. Do The Work God Gave You To Do. (v4)3. Reveal God To The Peeps In Our Circles of

Influence. (v6)4. Obey God’s Word and Ways. (v6)


Breaking It Down And Doing What Jesus Did:

5. Openly Acknowledge Everything We Have Comes From God. (v7)

6. Share With Others As The Holy Spirit Leads You. (v8)

7. Live In Such A Way That Everyone Clearly Knows We Belong To You. (v8)

8. Pray For The People God Bring To Mind And Puts In Your Life. (v9)


Restoring God’s Priorities In Your Life And In Your Church Starts With:

#1— Acknowledging that you were designed for discipleship.#2— Deciding to pursue not just the person of Jesus but the purpose of Jesus.#3— Taking seriously Jesus’ Command to make disciples.#4— Study and do what Jesus did.

Take My Life and Let It Be

Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to TheeTake my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


Take my hands, and let them move, At the impulse of Thy love;Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.Swift and beautiful for Thee.


Take my will, and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine;Take my heart, it is Thine own,It shall be Thy royal throne.It shall be Thy royal throne.


Take my love my God I pour, At Thy feet its treasure store Take myself and I will be, Ever, only, all for TheeEver, only, all for Thee


Restoring God’s Priorities In Your Life And In Your Church Starts With:

#1— Acknowledging that you were designed for discipleship.#2— Deciding to pursue not just the person of Jesus but the purpose of Jesus.#3— Taking seriously Jesus’ Command to make disciples.#4— Study and do what Jesus did.
