Slide 5 MISSION OF GOD To glorify His Name To exalt Christ as Lord To reconcile the world to Himself To establish His Kingdom Slide 6 GLORIFY GOD To glorify God by becoming a life- long, obedient disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, and To glorify God by making disciples of all nations. Slide 7 Make Disciples of All Nations! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV) Slide 8 Why does the church exist? To fulfill the Great Commission! Therefore go and make disciples of ALL nations Go versus Make disciples Better translation: As you are going through the world, be making disciples Slide 9 Making disciples is: The priority for ALL believers In a natural way, as a way of life. Not by teaching, but by BEING A MODEL! Slide 10 Making disciples is Leading others into a life-long, obedient, personal relationship with Jesus Christ which: Transforms their character into Christlikeness, Changes their values into Kingdom values, Involves them in His mission. Slide 11 The DNA of Discipleship 85-96% of Christians still are spiritual babies. Only 20% have spiritual maturity as a life goal. 75% of teens leave church at age 19. Only 1 in 30 Americans have a biblical worldview. Only 9% of born-again Christians have a biblical worldview. Slide 12 A worldview is the total set of values, morals, beliefs, and assumptions that a person holds either consciously or subconsciously. 3 in 5 adults want a deeper spiritual life but are not involved in trying to grow. 20 million Americans are committed to authentic discipleship. Slide 13 Where are we in discipleship? 1. Ignorant: I dont know. 2. Apathetic: I dont care. 3. Indifferent: So what? 4. Uncommitted: Whats in it for me? Slide 14 The Solution Repentance A radical return to following Jesus as His disciples A re-shaping of the worldview of Christians to a biblical worldview Slide 15 Luke 9:23 (NASB) If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

III. Follow Me: Making Disciples of All Nations! Slide 19 What is next? Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
