B.I.O. - The Jesus Way of Disciple-Making, Part 1

Are you ready to live a life that reflects Jesus more and more each day? In this program, Chip shares with us the blueprint to becoming a Christian who really lives like a Christian. Join us as we study the life of Jesus and hone in on 3 essential practices He modeled–that will transform our faith and deepen our connection to God.

Main Points

Introduction:

How can we address the discipleship deficit?

I. The problem

There is a need for discipleship

II. The invitation of Jesus

Jesus invites us to a life of abundance and purpose.

III. We must come to Jesus and learn from Him if we are to experience the life He promises

We must take His Yoke and learn from Him.

IV. Coming to Jesus is an event and a lifelong process of learning to follow His example and His teaching

The event = salvation - John 3:16
The process = discipleship - Matthew 4:19
The person = the path - John 14:6

V. Jesus practiced “the way” of living in dependency on the Spirit and submission to the Father

He came Before God
He did life In Community
He was On Mission 24/7

VI. Jesus taught His disciples what was required to continually experience the supernatural life He gave them

Abiding in Christ - John 15:1-11
Loving each other - John 15:12-17
Witnessing to the world - Matthew 28:18-20

VII. Until we grasp “the heart of God” and the why of discipleship, we will be destined to methods and programs that lead to discouragement, legalism, or self-righteousness.

Because of what Jesus did we can: know Him, love Him and serve Him.
