SOM-15A Disciples & Disciple Making

SOM-15A-01

This class will examine the biblical concept of “disciple” & “disciple making” with the goal of guiding the church to be and make disciples.

Mateo 28:19-20

Kaya, humayo kayo at gawin ninyong alagad ko ang lahat ng bansa. Bautismuhan ninyo sila

sa ngalan ng Ama at ng Anak at ng Espiritu Santo at turuang sumunod sa lahat ng ipinag-utos ko sa inyo. Tandaan ninyo: ako’y laging kasama ninyo hanggang sa katapusan ng

sanlibutan.

SERMON

• One tool: the monologue sermon• No participation by the audience congregation• Sermons have little or no impact (Ano ba’ng sermon

last week? 2 weeks ago? More?)• Preaching is a tool• Are there better ways of communicating God’s truth?• Subukan mo: Wag mag-preach sa Sunday. Ano

kaya ang mangyayari? Ano ba’ng pwedeng gawin na iba?

BUILDING

• “We shape our buildings then our buildings shape us”

• No art or symbols• Rows of seats facing a

stage• Lights, sounds, etc.• Who is active?• Who is inactive?• Building is just a tool

SEMINARY

• 85% of Filipino pastors haven’t formally studied– Is this bad or good?

• One expert passing on information• All chairs face the front• Without seminary (or Bible School) training we feel

inadequate• Seminary is just a tool• SEATS tries to be different

SWITCH

• Direct the Rider (Rational Side) – What looks like resistance is often a lack of clarity.

So provide crystal clear direction. • Follow bright spots• Direct the rider• Suggest ways to start behaving today

– (Think from “Eat Healthier” to “Buy 1% milk.”) [BELLS]

SWITCH

• Motivate the Elephant (Emotional Side) – What looks like laziness is often exhaustion. – The Rider can’t get his way by force for very long. – So it critical that you engage people’s emotional

side – get their elephants on the path & cooperative. • SEED lockbox

– (Think “we are paying to much for stuff” to “see all these different gloves we are buying?”)

– Get people involved by modeling to them

SWITCH

• Shape the Path – What looks like a people problem is often a

situation problem. – Simply altering the environment influences the

way people behave, irrespective of their Rider & Elephant.

– (Think the size of movie popcorn buckets.) [Shut down your Sunday service]

Group Work

• How can we convince our members to become disciple makers / cell group leaders?

SWITCH

• Direct the Rider (Rational Side)

• Motivate the Elephant (Emotional Side)

• Shape the Path
