• Matt. 2816-19 Now the eleven disciples went to
  Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had
  directed them. And when they saw him they
  worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came
  and said to them, 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, teaching them to observe all that I have
  commanded you. And behold, I am with you always,
  to the end of the age.

  intentional process." Mike Breen

  make disciples

• Isn't this arrogant of us as christians to say
  we're in the business

• We're not making disciples of us, were making
  disciples of Jesus.
• If Jesus is who we believe he is then it's not
  arrogance, it's obedience.

Conclusion

• Ultimately, each church will be evaluated by
  only one thing - its disciples. Your church is
  only as good as her disciples. It does not matter
  how good your praise, preaching, programs or
  property are if your disciples are passive,
  needy, consumeristic, and not ltradically
  obedientgt your church is not good. Neil Cole
