6. American Christianity is radically self centered
The contrast:
American Christianity is radically self centered
Biblical disciple making is radically God centered!
A disciple has a Radical dependence on the grace of Christ!
The Process:
He takes the initiative to Choose us
He provided the power to Use us.
He gets the glory Through us.
Our prayer is that God would make us a trophy of His grace .

The essence of Jesus’ method:
No formal school.
No seminaries.
No membership classes.
No highly organized procedures or formulas.
Jesus was his own school and curriculum.
The implications of Jesus’ method.
We are free from legalistic ritualism.
We are focused on building individuals, not an institution.
Making disciples of all nations. .

8. Radical trust to the Authority of Christ!
He is master of every domain in our lives.
He is Lord of every detail in our lives.
Radical obedience to the Mission of Jesus Christ.:
The unconventional plan of Jesus.
The unhesitant response of disciples.
The ultimate question for the church:
Will we obey his plan, his last words?
Will we follow Him so that we can say to others, “come follow me as I follow Jesus!” .

9. Consider the cost of discipleship?
Will we follow Jesus?
Consider the cost of discipleship?
Consider the cost of non-discipleship?:
For Us
For our communities
For the world!!
Come Follow ME Jesus says…..
so should you! .
