Discipleship

Sunday School is Discipleship Training!!!

Discipleship Training is Sunday School!!!

Acts 5: 42Day after day, in the temple

courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming

the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Discipleship isEvangelism“teaching and

proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah(the Christ)”

Matthew 28: 18-20Then Jesus came to them and said, “All

authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and

make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Ephesians 4:11-12(KJV)And He gave some, apostles; and

some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and

teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ…

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the

evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of

Christ may be built up…

Ephesians 4: 11-12(AMP)And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave

men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some

prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some

evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries),

some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.

His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the

saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the

work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the

church)…

QuestionWhat is discipleship in

your own words?(Bill asked in class if I was assigning

homework & if everyone was to write a 500 word essay. Not a bad idea,

Bill.)

Discipleship is“equip(ping) His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ

may be built up…”

QuestionWho does discipleship, the work

of the ministry?

a) The Pastor

b) You and I

Answer: Both

Colossians 3:16 (AMP)Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the

Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its]

richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and

intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making

melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.

Discipleship is“you (and I) teach(ing) and admonish(ing) and train(ing) one another”

(Counseling One Another)

Romans 15:14 (AMP)Personally I am satisfied about

you, my brethren, that you yourselves are rich in goodness, amply filled with all [spiritual] knowledge and competent to admonish and counsel and

instruct (Gk. noutheteo) one another also.
