Matthew 28:16-20

Following the Way of Jesus is about making Jesus and his disciple-making mission the organizing principle of our lives. Jesus supplies everything we need to re-orient the whole of our lives around his mission, to step into the places he has sent us with courage and conviction, and to bring the presence, kingdom, and message of Jesus. Together we’re orienting our real, everyday lives around the mission and purpose of Jesus, and increasingly surrendering all of life to him and his way.

Discussion:

  1. What images come to mind when you hear the command to “make disciples?”

  2. How does your image compare to what we see Jesus doing with his community?

  3. What is the “organizing principle” of your life? What is your life really about?

Key Practices: 

  1. Look for opportunities to connect with your M/C beyond weekly gatherings

  2. Build significant, spiritual friendships with people who don’t follow Jesus
