How do we make disciples of Jesus?

The Sycamore Motto Freely sharing the life Jesus has given to us The assumptions: 1. We have received the life that Jesus has shared with us 2. We share His mission 3. We intentionally submit ourselves to his authority

BRING THEM IN EVANGELISM “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. ” Luke 19: 10 (ESV) And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4: 19 ESV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14: 6 (ESV)

BUILD THEM UP For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. 1 Corinthians 3: 9 (ESV)

BUILD THEM UP DISCIPLESHIP And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Ephesians 4: 11 -16 (ESV)

SEND THEM OUT MINISTRY / MISSIONS “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” Matthew 28: 18 -20 (ESV) And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? ” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me. ” Isaiah 6: 8 (ESV)

PUBLICLY “I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20: 20 (ESV)

PUBLICLY WORSHIP / RISK “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4: 11 -13 (ESV) I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10: 11 (ESV)

HOUSE TO HOUSE “And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved”. Acts 2: 46 -47 (ESV)

HOUSE TO HOUSE FELLOWSHIP “I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ”. Acts 20: 20 -21 (ESV)
