  5. Jesus, the Rabbi • Hometown reputation (Luke 4:16-30): • Out of the “Wedlock” (Matthew 1:18-19) • “Mary’s Son” (Mark 6:3) • What are they saying in John 8:41? • Nazareth? (John 1:45-46) • Others’ perception vs. Jesus’ perception of me • Jesus: the Rabbi vs. Resume Builder • Rabbi vs. Teacher (Disciple vs. Student) • The Question of Destination - Jesus • Resume Builder?

  6. Discipleship Through the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) … And Jesus came and said to them (the disciples), ‘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 of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’

  7. Authority – Who is My Lord? • “All authority… to me [Jesus]” • Clergy-Laity Myth and Relational Gap • Within Faith Community • Discipleship levels playing field • Not the “holy circle” • Leadership – Ultimately Followership • Beyond Faith Community • Vocation or Career? • C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Wendell Berry, Wallace Stagner, Kathleen Norris

  8. 3 Things Under the Authority • Baptize • The Family of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit • Community: Children of God • Love as Abstract Noun vs. Love as Practice • Teach & Learn • Love Commands within and Beyond Faith Community • Obey • Popular Notion vs. Biblical Notion

  9. Way of Life, Rather Than “Program” • Discipleship: Closing the gap through mutually committed community of trust • With God • With Others • Turning others into us • Turning strangers into guests

  10. Tips for the Upcoming Sessions • Thinking strategically Through Paul (from The Disciple Making Church, by Glenn McDonald) • Who’s My Barnabas?

(Sending Community) • Worship, fellowship & nurture, debriefing and reflecting • Where is My Macedonia? (Where I am Sent) • Where I spend my days • This is a Journey, a Way of Life • Take Faith “Inventory” of Community – Relational/Communal • Marathon vs. Sprint
