I've learned a lot about making disciples from Curtis Sergeant.  You can read more about Curtis at www.obeygc2.com.

Curtis has put together 28 videos that are for those wanting to learn how to make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. 

They are a great resource and I think you will find these extremely helpful.  I would encourage you to take the next 28 days to watch one video each day.  Most are between 3 - 7 minutes long. 

You can watch all of the videos here: Multiplication Concepts

And just to get you started, I'll post the first four videos below.

I was recently at a seminar where Randy Friesen shared about the pomogranate.  It's a fruit that isn't all that common in North America and yet it has a pecular place in the Bible.  It is the fruit that is found adorning the hems of the robes of the priests (Exodus 28; Exodus 39) and is the only fruit decorating the the temple (1 Kings 7; 2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 3).

Why such a special place for this special fruit?

It has to do with God's heart for multiplication.  Throughout scripture we see princlples of multiplication and the idea that the glory of the Lord would spread throughout the earth.  Genesis chapter one is filled with hints God's heart for multiplication.  God's desire is to see his love, grace and salvation multiplied and we see in the methods of Jesus how he intends to do this: through disciples who make disciples who make disciples.  

And that is the beauty of the pomegranate.  It is the only fruit which is 100% seed.  In every pomegranate, every bit of nourishement in it's fruit also carries the seed for reproduction.

And that is the way it is to be in Christ's church.  We have too often fallen into the habbit of depending on the professionals to do the work of entering fields of lostness, sharing the good news of the gospel and discipling new believers.

But the expectation of Jesus and the example of the gospels, the book of Acts, the epistles and anywhere in church history where kingdom expansion is taking place is that all who call on the name of Jesus to be saved are also obeying Jesus and making disciples.

In Christ, we are made to reproduce.  The Church isn't an apple where most of us are fruit and a few of us are made to do the work of making disciples.  The church is a pomegranate and each us is compelled to obey Jesus and make disciples.  It will look different for everyone, but we all have a part to play.

Do you know your part?

And do you know how to make disciples?  Have you been equipped to enter into gospel conversations, to share your testimony and the a clear proclamation of the gospel and to lead someone to faith?  And when they come to faith, are you prepared to train your new believing friend in the foundations of what it means to follow Jesus and make Him Lord of their lives?

If not, we'd love to help you learn.
