The Command to Disciple
The Command to Disciple
Matthew 28:16-
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Modern English Version Chapter 28
19 *Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Go - participle “As you are going”
μαθητεύω - be a disciple - make disciples
διδάσκω - teach; instruct
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
What is Discipleship?
What is Discipleship?
“Discipleship is that command of Scripture for maturing believers to take an active role in leading others to Christ, and to move them towered maturity with the goal of repeating the discipleship process with others “ - Dan Trountman, PCC Faculity
Acts 1:
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations—rather, “make disciples of all nations”; for “teaching,” in the more usual sense of that word, comes in afterwards, and is expressed by a different term.
It is finding someone who is the same or younger in faith, and point them towards Jesus Christ

Bear each other’s burdens
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Cultivate Trust
People don’t care what you know, until they know that you care
1 Corinthians
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
People must be able to trust you.
Build relationships with people
Communicate Truth
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
We must share Scripture with each other
The Bible is God’s primary tool used to change us.
Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
I had friends at School that sharpened me. I had friends that kept me accountable.
Commit Time
Discipleship will take time - It doesn’t happen over night
It will not be easy.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
“fervently” - most eagerly
“be used” - Will Galkin
