Preaching Point : Every Christian exists to reach people for Christ, teach people to be like Christ & train people to serve Christ.
Main Text : Matthew 28:18–20
Teaching Points:
1.) Reach People for Christ v19a
2.) Teach People to be Like Christ v19b
3.) Train People to Serve Christ v20
Application Questions:
1.) What is one observation you found particularly helpful from this week’s sermon?
2.) Read Matthew 28:16–20 and 1 Corinthians 2:1–5. The mission of making disciples does not allow us to paint with broad strokes when defining what it means to make disciples. And even though many great service-oriented projects can accompany this mission, how do these verses firmly and decisively define how we make disciples?
3.) Read Acts 1:8 and Romans 10:14-15. How do these verses serve as motivation for you to respond to God’s mission to reach people for Christ?
a.) What are ways you can be “going” throughout your week to make disciples?
4.) Read Acts 2:38–41, Acts 8:30–38, and Romans 6:3–4. How do these verses prove the importance of being symbolically immersed into the water as a part of the disciple-making process to present outwardly what Romans 6:3–4 says has already happened inwardly?
5.) Read 2 Timothy 4:1–4 and Colossians 1:28–29. The Great Commission places a premium on the church's responsibility to teach disciples to observe everything Christ commanded and teach others to do the same. What opportunities can you take advantage of here at Compass to help equip you to be like Christ and teach others to be like Christ? If you have not, create a plan to capitalize on those opportunities this year!
