The End Goal

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro Question Number One: What is God’s Vision? God’s Glory to Fill the Earth!

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro What is God’s Vision? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro Why do you exist? To Glorify God!

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro Why do you exist? Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. Isaiah 43:7

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro Who Glorifies God? Disciples do!

Disciples Glorify God! And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro

Intro The four verbs of Matthew 28:18-20:  go  make disciples  baptize  teach them to obey make disciples l how?

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro “Make disciples of all nations” has two parts ：  Quantity= All nations  Quality = Make disciples What should we do if our ministries, methods, or traditions will not be able attain both aspects?

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro What exactly is a disciple? So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples John 8:31

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro We are commanded to make disciples of all nations who: 1.Obey everything Christ commanded (Mt. 28:20), 2. Abide in Christ’s word (Jn. 8:31), 3. Bear Fruit (Jn. 15:8: more later), and 4. Make more disciples (Mt. 28:19)! The church is made of disciples, so…

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro …How does the church glorify God? To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thess. 1:11-12

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Eph. 3:21

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro How do we glorify God? Bear fruit!

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro

Characteristics of CPM (Church Planting Movement): Definition: A rapid and exponential increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment. Because we must keep “Quantity” and “Quality” in balance, we must find a way to rapidly reproduce healthy disciples, leaders and churches who can reproduce themselves in others. Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist ： Intro

Characteristics of CPM (Church Planting Movement): A sustainable cpm is a rapid and exponential increase (doubling in 12-18 months) of indigenous churches with simultaneous and timely provision of local leaders to maintain the exponential increase.

Six Step Strategic Planning: Becoming an Effective Kingdom Growth Strategist Step Two: Look Forward: God’s End Goal

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

你会用什么名字描述你所经历过的神呢？ Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

God wants the earth to be “filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord” (Hab. 2:14) and his “will to be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10). We glorify him by obedience and bearing fruit (Jn. 15:8), but we are unable because we “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23) and we are “separated from” God (Is. 59:2). 用什么名字描述你所经历过的神呢？ Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

However, “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son” (Jn 3:16) and “while were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8) and “destroyed the devil’s work” (1 Jn. 3:8). As a result “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (Jn. 3:16) We “have been justified through faith” and “have peace with God” (Rom 5:1) Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

Through faith in Jesus we have also become “the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21) and “children of Abraham” (Gal. 3:7-8, Gen. 12:1-3) and “heirs according to the promise” (Gal. 3:29). “This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time” (2 Tim. 1:9) and Jesus is with us “to the very end of the age” (Mt. 28:20). Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

The “Spirit was given to us as a deposit” (2. Cor. 5:5) and “since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit” (Gal. 5:25) as we “do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Eph. 2:10). By our obedience we show that we love God (Jn. 14:21) and “bear fruit” showing that we are His disciples (Jn. 15:8) as we walk with and “know” the “only true God” (Jn. 17:3). Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

Thus, we “go” by the command of Him who holds all authority (Matt. 28:18) and “preach the gospel in the whole world” (Matt. 24:14) so that “all nations” (Mk. 16:15) will hear. For those that believe, we teach “them to obey everything commanded” of us (Matt. 28:20) until Jesus returns and people “from every nation tribe, people and language” will stand before his throne and worship and praise him (Rev. 7:9-10, 15:1-3). Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

“…I am making everything new…” Rev. 21:5 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” Rev. 22:12 (NIV) Come, Lord Jesus! Amen! Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Forward

Six Step Strategic Planning: Becoming an Effective Kingdom Growth Strategist Step Three: Look Around: Reproducible Methods

Recall: In order to maintain the balance of the In/Out of the Great Commission, we need 1. Healthy, 2. Sustainable, 3. Reproducible growth of disciples, leaders and churches until disciples are made of all nations. Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Only godly people can do healthy, sustainable, reproducible ministry: Through godly people God does His kingdom building work ◦ Godly people – (Ps. 78: 72) ◦ Upright heart – skillful hand You need to become a godly person who is pure of heart before you can be a part of a ministry with lasting fruit. Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Only godly people can do healthy, sustainable, reproducible ministry: ◦ The quality of your work will reflect the quality of your walk with Christ. ◦ You will want fruit that will last. (Jn. 15:16) You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. (Jn. 15:16) Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Only godly people can do healthy, sustainable, reproducible ministry: God isn’t looking for perfect people, rather he is seeking people who are faithful, pure and desire to glorify Him. 1 Sam. 16:7: For the L ORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the L ORD looks on the heart. 2 Chron. 16:9: For the eyes of the L ORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Only godly people can do healthy, sustainable, reproducible ministry: Are you willing to increasingly become who God has called you to be as He works through you to expand His kingdom? ◦ God does multiplicative ministry through godly people. ◦ God works through people, not methods.

Paul and his team primarily shared the gospel and planted churches.] Acts 15:36-18:22: [Much of this journey was spent going to places where churches had just recently been started. Paul and his team worked with local leaders to continue to start churches.] Acts 18:23 - 21:17: [Much of this journey was spent going back to places where churches were established and stable. Paul and his team worked with local leaders to continue to start churches.] Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Example #1: Ephesus But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. Acts 19:9-10 Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Example #1: Ephesus It is a mathematical impossibility that Paul personally shared with every resident of the province of Asia. However, Timothy served with Paul in Ephesus. Later, when Timothy was still serving in Ephesus, Paul wrote two famous letters to him. 2 Timothy 2:2 gives as an insight into their “method”. And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2) Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

Example #1: Ephesus Four generations can be found here…Paul, Timothy, faithful ones who can teach, and others who are to be taught. 2 Timothy 2:2 gives us a map for the reasoning behind “how” Paul and his team managed to share the gospel with everyone in the province of Asia in just two years’ time (Acts 19:10). The answer is reproducibility. And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

The church much multiply in health and sustainability: Eph. 4:11-16: The healthy, missional church. Verses 11-13 show the “process” while 14-16 primarily describes the “result”. Step 1. God gives the church various leaders, Step 2. “to” or “in order to” equip the saints, Step 3. for the work of ministry, Step 4. for (the purpose of) building up the body of Christ, until Step 5. we all attain unity of the faith and Step 6. the knowledge of the Son of God to Step 7. mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around

The church much multiply in health and sustainability: Eph. 4:14-16: 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Basic principles of reproducible methods Outward Principle: Jn. 4: 34-35 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. John 4:34-35

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Outward Principle: Jn. 4: 34-35  Evangelize the lost  Emphasize the Great Commission in the church  Regularly train disciple-makers in simple, life-application oriented, biblical material  Meet weekly or biweekly for 2 hours for accountability, encouragement, study, & practice:  Emphasize new leaders and new churches

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Outward Principle: Jn. 4: 34-35  Activity: Great Commission name list ◦ Everyone write down the name of every lost person they know and pray the “3 opens” for them. (1. God to open a door to the gospel, 2. Open our mouth to say what should be said (Col. 4:2-4) and 3. To open their heart to receive the good news (John 6:44)) Each believer is to witness to five people a week and then train those who believe to repeat the process.

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Scripture Principle: Acts 17:10-12, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 4:6 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. Acts 17:10-12

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Scripture Principle: Acts 17:10-12, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 4:6 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. 1 Corinthians 4:6

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Scripture Principle: Acts 17:10-12, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 4:6  Scripture is the sole source of authority  Teaching content comes from the Bible, and trainees are led quickly to see the Word of God is their authority and guide, and obedience to the Word is paramount.  Those who are leading groups of new believers must continue into Bible Study using a participatory method, such as a study through Luke or use topical training materials that that operates from a “plain things are the main things” scriptural principle such as the Healthy Disciple.  Emphasize personal Bible Study or a quiet time.

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Simplicity Principle: 1 Cor.3:2a 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 1 Cor.3:2a  Teach simply. Only give what they can learn, practice, obey and teach.  Training progression: Begin with simple and move to more complex  If the trainees cannot train the way you train them, it is probably not simple enough!

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Three-thirds Principle: 2 Tim.2:2  A typical weekly or bi-weekly training schedule ◦ 1/3 Pastoral Care, Worship, Accountability (Review & Encouragement ), Vision-Casting ◦ 1/3 New Lesson (Enough Biblical Content to Obey) ◦ 1/3 Practice & Prayer (Confidence to obey & train others and goal-setting with commissioning)

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Three-thirds Principle: 2 Tim.2:2  Which parts get you to reproduction? ◦ Accountability; practice, goal setting, prayer (These parts increase confidence and faith to train others) ◦ If we are pressed for time, what do we leave out normally??? Ans: usually the above mentioned parts!  This is the part where video-based training falls short. While one-way electronic forms of communication can cast vision and transmit content, it cannot replace the relational aspects of accountability, practice, goal setting and prayer.

Becoming an effective kingdom growth strategist: Look Around Basic principles of reproducible methods Three-thirds Principle: 2 Tim.2:2 DEALING WITH PROBLEMS If you have too much content for the lesson portion and find yourself cutting out other parts of the thirds. Answer: cut back on the content to preserve the 3 parts – build a trainer! After week 1, a trainee brings back his new converts to your group rather than starting his own group. Answer: Go through the next session (lesson 2) but then let him train the new people in lesson 1 after the meeting.
