  1. Discipleship Jesus style

  2. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  3. The Multiplication Principle

  4. The example of Jesus: Preached to the crowds ► He spoke to them in parables (Luke 8:9-10)

  5. Luke 8:9-10 Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?” And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘ Seeing they may not see,And hearing they may not understand.’”

  6. The example of Jesus: Preached to the crowds ► He spoke to them in parables (Luke 8:9-10) ► He never turned anyone away (Mark 2) ► He never ceased proclaiming the Kingdom

  7. The example of Jesus: Spent quality time with a relative few ► the seventy (Luke 10:1)

  8. Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

  9. The example of Jesus: Spent quality time with a relative few ► the seventy (Luke 10:1) ► the twelve (John 6:67)

  10. John 6:67-68 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

  11. The example of Jesus: Spent quality time with a relative few ► the seventy (Luke 10:1) ► the twelve (John 6:67) ► the three (Matt. 17:1)

  12. Matthew 17:1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves…

  13. The example of Jesus: Spent quality time with a relative few ► the seventy (Luke 10:1) ► the twelve (John 6:67) ► the three (Matt. 17:1) ► the one

  14. The closer Jesus was to someone, the more practical, personal and challenging His relationship was with them.

  15. The example of Jesus: Called them to be disciples from the beginning (Mark 8:34)

  16. Mark 8:34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

  17. The example of Jesus: Called them to be disciples from the beginning (Mark 8:34) ► deny themselves ► take up the cross ► follow Me

  18. So how does the multiplication principle work?

  19. YOU 3 people a day In 20 years, you will have won around 20,000 people to the Lord… …but 247,000 people have died this year already in Canada alone!

  20. 1 person a year YOU In 20 years, you will have seen 1,048,576 people discipled for the Lord. ?

  21. Addition is good, but multiplication is better!
