Introduction
Introduction:
Introduction:
We all influence and are influenced.
No one is an island.
We eventually will begin to reflect those around us and those around us will eventually reflect us.
Remember in high school, walking by a friends locker on my way to class, and he says, “hey lets skip.”
Transition: But as faithful my parents where to Deutonoemy 6 and their job to make disciples in their own home, there’s a clear call on all Christians to make, mature, and multiply Disciples of Jesus Christ.
There was someone else who was discipling me.
How God used him to stretch me and teach me.
It was how God used him to throw me into situation such as teaching my first lesson or preaching my first sermon (as bad as that was) more than 23 years ago.
Transition: We will all be influenced by others.
The people around you will influence you, for better or worse.
And for better or worse you will influence those around you.
Think about it, and absentee father influences his children even in the absence.
None of us is an island.

This is what Discipleship is.
Discipleship is a process of moving people to the right, into a closer walk with Christ.
A discipling life is an others0oriented life.
It labours in the power of God to proclaim Christ and present other mature in Christ.
THat is the pattern we see in the Bible.

Question: The only question that remains for you is: how will you use your influence.
What is Discipleship?:
What is a disciple?
A forgiven sinner who is learning Christ in repentance and faith.
What Discipleship?
Discipleship is a process of moving people to the right, into a closer walk with Christ.
A discipling life is an others-oriented life.
It labours in the power of God to proclaim Christ and present other mature in Christ.
That is the pattern we see in the Bible.
We see that discipleship is really about influencing people through teaching, correcting, modelling, and loving them so that they grow in their walk with Christ.
In , Paul says this:
Colossians 1:
V 24: Whatever the hardships that Paul had suffered was a joy because of how God had used them to call people to himself.
In Paul’s suffering he was able to sympathize with his fellow believers when they suffered.
During that time he was able to comfort them because of the comfort he had from God during his suffering.
vs. 27: What is the mystery?
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Ch
Vs. 28: Did you catch that in verse 28?
Jesus defines discipleship in what we call the Great Commission in think I grew up understanding this passage as a call for foreign missions, or at lease it was implied that it was.
Read it with me starting in , “Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Paul’s message was Christ.
Paul wants the people to know the hope that Christians have rests in the person of Jesus Christ.
The gospel is not a system, hierarchy, or set of regulation.
It is the person and work of Jesus, which is, indeed the message.
“Everyone” This teaching is for everyone.
There’s no part of Christian teaching that is to be reserved for the spiritual elite.
All the truth of God is for all the people of God.
Paul is warning and teaching.
He warns people with the intent to change ones attitude and actions, he wants them to grow in holiness and understanding of who God is.
He’s calling people to correct a course that they may be on that isn’t right, but he is also teaching.
He wants people to know how to grow in Christ.
So Paul’s method is both confronting and instructing.
He wasn’t to “present everyone mature in Christ.
Discipleship involves transmitting the knowledge of God and his Word through every moment of life.
What is discipleship?
Discipleship is a process of moving people to the right, into a closer walk with Christ.
A discipling life is an others-oriented life.
It labours in the power of God to proclaim Christ and present other mature in Christ.
That is the pattern we see in the Bible.
Discipling is initiating a relationship where teaching, correcting, modelling, and loving takes place.
It takes great humility.
And can be very messy.
Happens through 4 ways:
Proclaiming the gospel: This is a public announcement.
Not something we wait for, it’s a declaration.
Point to Jesus.
That Christ died for our sins and rose again.
Correcting.
Warning (to advice someone that the road you are going down has consequences.
Sometimes you may need to warn someone about the choices they are making.
Admonition involves encouraging, instructing, and prompting, as well as reproving others when necessary.
But Paul doesn’t think this is his own task, this is a task that belongs to the entire community.
We see that in 3:16
Who of us, with a child, would watch our child reach for the eletric socket without doing something.
Or if you saw someone about to jump in the way of a train would not attempt to grab them.
Part of being a Christ is knowing that we still get deceived by sin sometimes and we need other Christians to help us see the things we can’t see.
Join a Church that does that.
Did you know, you can lead in a discipling relationship by inviting others to correct you, and making it easy for them to do so?
Teach: At its core, discipling is teaching.
We teach all the words that Jesus taught his disciples, and all the words of the Bible.
It happens when we sit down and have coffee with someone and ask: “What has God been teaching you about himself?”
Modelling.
The Command isn’t just to teach people.
Jesus tells us to teach people to obey.
Ultimately, discipling involves living out the whole Christian life before others.
Christ is our example here.
We don’t just communicate through our words, but also through our whole lives.
Think about a fashion model.
