Come, Let's Go! Discipleship In EvangelismSample

MEMORIZE MATTHEW 24:14

"And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

COME AFTER ME

Jesus said, "If anyone wants to "COME AFTER ME" they must deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow me." It was an invitation offered to all, but so few are actually willing to come after Him. Did He really say daily? How can we help people get to the place where they deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Him up a hill to die?

When Jesus said all this in Luke 9, He had not died on His cross yet. The people all knew the picture Jesus was painting with these words. They had seen many Roman executions on crosses before. Criminals carrying their own cross to their crucifixion were put on public display. You could imagine the disciples saying, "What are you talking about Jesus? What's with all this cross talk?" 

Jesus modeled for them and showed them exactly what He was talking about. He died and was buried and on the third day He rose again. He has been assisting and watching us ever since He left. After much denial, doubt, unbelief, and lack of faith these guys finally got it. The training cycle worked. They followed in His footsteps. The testimonies of the Apostles are amazing. They laid their lives down for His name's sake. They were crucified with Christ. They were told by everyone to stop talking about Jesus or they are going to be killed. They refused to stop talking about Jesus so, they were killed, and the church could not be stopped. The power of the Gospel, the power of the Resurrection, and the power of the Holy Spirit are all unstoppable.     

LET'S GO PREACH 

THE WHOLE GOSPEL, TO THE WHOLE WORLD, TO THE WHOLE PERSON.

They preached the whole gospel. They were not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.  They went out and preached everywhere. They went to the whole world. Think about everyone, everywhere. They cared for the whole person and did the same stuff they saw Jesus do. They healed the sick; they cast out demons. The Lord worked and confirmed their message with signs and wonders. If you read through the book of Acts, you will see it in detail. 

God did it. Those that came after Him got to be a part of it. It has always been God's plan to work through His people. The church are His people. We are the church. We believe we could finish the task of saturating the globe with multiplying disciples in our generation if every part of the body did its part. What is your part in this? Come, Let's Go.      

COME LET'S GO TRAINING TIP

"The Training Cycle" a simple process to get everything to everyone, everywhere.

Jesus showed us a simple pattern to make disciples that multiply. Jesus didn't do everything for everyone. Jesus trained everyone to do everything. It will eventually get to everyone everywhere and then the end will come. The training cycle is as easy as teaching someone to ride a bike. Model, Assist, Watch, and Leave. What if we went back to the way Jesus did it without buildings, budgets, programs, and staff? We believe that Jesus "modeled' it. He showed us what He was talking about. Jesus "assisted" people to get others started. Jesus "watched" and invested deeply in a few people that were faithful with the little things. Then Jesus "left.". His method of multiplication has worked very well. Model, Assist, Watch, and Leave. The Training Cycle. This process turns one into many. The training cycle turns a mission into a movement. COME, LET'S GO!
