MATTHEW 28:19-20

1. When Jesus declared His ultimate authority, He gave one assignment (28:18-20).
   • How does making disciples differ from calling people to salvation?
   • Why does baptism come after the making of a disciple?
   • What all is involved in making people to be disciples?
2. The nature of the assignment is immense and clear (Luke 6:40).
   • How immense is the task of becoming a disciple? (Ephesians 4:13)
   • Why does this need to be our goal?
   • What is wrong with the concept of being a Christian without being a disciple?
3. The means of the assignment involve imitating Jesus (Mark 3:13-14).
   • How did Jesus transform the first apostles? (John 1:35-39)
   • Why was Jesus so intent on spending all that time with His disciples?
   • Why is it so important for us to spend more time with those we bring to Christ?
4. The early disciples also made disciples who made disciples (II Timothy 2:2).
   • What must we do to have this kind of multiplying ministry?
   • What role will our example play in this ministry? (I Corinthians 11:1)
   • What are we going to change today so we can better be and then make disciples?

Call to Action: To intently be and to make disciples of Jesus.
