Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual: Equipping Disciples Who Make Disciples
WHAT DOES WINNING LOOK LIKE?
1) If Christianity were a team sport and the church were Christ’s team, what would winning be?
(2) What is the church supposed to be and do to win?
Before you move ahead, write down your answers to these same questions.•
In relation to Christianity and the church, what is winning?
Jesus’ last command in Matthew 28:18–20 makes the church’s mission clear:
The church is called to reach the world for Jesus one person at a time.
In other words, every Christian is commanded to participate in the mission to make disciples
Read Matthew 28:18–20 and circle the words in which Jesus is telling us to do something.
Did you circle the words go, make disciples, baptizing, and teaching?
In the Bible’s original language, make disciples is the key phrase in these verses
the words going, baptizing, and teaching support the command to make disciples.

4. The three other action words show us what is entailed in obeying that command. To make disciples, we must be __, __, and __.
Go back and review how you answered the two questions at the beginning of this lesson.
Compare what you wrote with the command above.
5. Check the box below that fits best at this point:__ “Yes! I knew it. I am off to a good start because I knew that the church is supposed to make disciples.”__
“No, I missed it. No one has ever explained the church’s purpose to me like this before.”__
“Well, I had it right, but I said it in a different way.”__
“I disagree! I had a different answer, and I still think I am right.”
In your own words, write what part the church plays in making disciples
What is your personal role in helping the church make disciples?
Spend some time meditating on Matthew 28:18–20.

Using these verses, explain to someone today why the church should focus on making disciples.
Write the name(s) of the person(s) you told or plan to tell. __
