God’s Vision for Gospel Community

Discovering God’s Will: Easy, or Difficult? Next 4 Sundays God’s vision for his church, which is our vision for our church Today God’s clear will for each of us Why it can often seem unclear An important implication

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship Matthew 28:18-20 – making disciples of Jesus is God’s clear will for our lives What’s a “disciple”? Someone who is committed to: Declaration (becoming a Christian) Development (spiritual growth) Deployment (serving Christ’s kingdom)

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship Declaration (becoming a Christian) Disciples trust in Jesus as Savior – “baptizing them in the name of…” Disciples submit to Jesus as Lord – “All authority… has been given to me”

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship Development (spiritual growth) Disciples are dedicated to a lifetime of learning and obeying God’s Word “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you”

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship Deployment (serving Christ’s kingdom) John 15:8 – God receives glory when his people “bear fruit” “Bearing fruit” = living out the Gospel, and passing on what I’ve learned “go and make disciples…”

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship To Make Disciples (simple definition) when a Christian takes what he/she has learned about following Jesus, and passes it on to other Christians.

God’s Will For Your Life: Discipleship Living it out When seeking out God’s will in a given situation: Consider which alternative will best position you to make disciples. This is a priority concern. Invite wise, mature Christians in to the decision making process before it’s final.
