  1. Jesus' Mission
    1. Luke 19:10
    2. 1 Timothy 1:15
    3. Matthew 28:19-20
    4. Acts 20:24
      1. What was Jesus' mission?
      2. What is each disciple's mission?
  2. Disciples' Mission
    1. John 15:1-16
      1. Glorifying God in John 15 is bearing the fruit of making disciples, not simply baptizing. (Matthew 28:19 commands us to "go and make disciples;" John 15:16 commands us to "go and bear fruit that will last."
      2. To bear fruit, one must be "in the vine," otherwise we will be cut off.
      3. Jesus is the perfect discipler, but He is also the perfect disciple of God.
      4. To love God is to obey His commands. Discipling helps our hearts to want to obey His commands (Matthew 28:20). Therefore, we must love one another, even to the point of laying down our lives for each other.
    2. The Book of Acts records the 30 years from the beginning of the church on the day of Pentecost to Paul's arrival in Rome — signaling that the gospel has gone to the known world. The church in the first century was a movement. Discuss the growth of the first century church when all Christians were striving to be fruitful — making disciples.
      1. Acts 2:41
      2. Acts 2:47
      3. Acts 4:4
      4. Acts 5:14
      5. Acts 6:1
      6. Acts 6:7
      7. Acts 8:4
      8. Acts 9:31
      9. Acts 11:21
      10. Acts 12:24
      11. Acts 13:49
      12. Acts 14:1
      13. Acts 14:21
      14. Acts 16:5
      15. Acts 17:4
      16. Acts 17:6 (RSV): "These men who have turned the world upside-down have come here also..."
      17. Colossians 1:6, 23: The known world was evangelized by 61 A.D., in a generation! Paul is in prison when he writes Colossians — Acts 28. Therefore, Jesus' vision became a reality — "the evangelization of the nations in a generation!"
    3. Discuss and pray for:
      1. World Evangelism
      2. Missions Teams
      3. Your Kingdom dreams... how can you use your talents for God?
