  1. “Disciplemaking is about a certain kind of person, radically committed to a certain kind of purpose, who through a certain kind of process reproduces a certain kind of product.” (Edmund Chan)

  2. “The Master’s Plan of Discipleship” highlights the approach Jesus used to attract and instruct his disciples. To show how he did it within three years of his brief life, we used the Gospels as one text and distilled seven selected aspects of discipleship from the records of four authors.

  3. At GCF, we intend to use these studies as our “master plan of discipleship” to guide believers to learn these lessons from Jesus Christ:

  5. Jesus Teaches How to Use Money and Possessions Jesus Teaches How to Love and Serve Others Jesus Teaches How to Worship God

  6. From three selected texts, observe how Jesus instructed people on how to become his disciple.

  7. The Generic Appeal: “Follow me” (John 1:35-45)

  8. The Generic Appeal: “Follow me” (John 1:35-45) Jesus asked people to follow him. This is the most basic act of being a disciple. John the Baptizer pointed his disciple Andrew to Jesus. Andrew told Peter; Philip told Nathanael.

  9. The Generic Appeal: “Follow me” (John 1:35-45) Being a follower of Jesus is a lifelong process of “aligning” to him. If I am to become a disciple of Jesus, I must follow Him!

  10. To follow Jesus requires… That I FIX my eyes on Him. That I FEEL His heartbeat. That I FREE myself from hindrances. That I FLEE from sin & temptations. That I FORM Christlike attitudes and actions.

  11. The Graphic Assignment: “I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:18-22)

  12. The Graphic Assignment: “I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:18-22) Fishermen who are called to follow Christ become “fishers of men”. Being a disciple means to follow Christ and influence your colleagues to do the same.

  13. The Graphic Assignment: “I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:18-22) Matthew was a tax collector, Paul was a lawyer, Luke was a doctor and they influenced others to follow Christ. If I am to become a disciple of Jesus, I must fish for men!

  14. To fish for men requires… That I PREACH the gospel. That I PRACTICE what I preach. That I PREPARE myself to preach. That I PROTECT my testimony. That I PRAY for workers & for the harvest.

  15. The Group Appointment: “He called his disciples… and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles” (Luke 6:12-16)

  16. The Group Appointment: “He called his disciples…and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles” (Luke 6:12-16) From many disciples, Jesus chose twelve to become apostles. All apostles are disciples but not all disciples are apostles.

  17. The Group Appointment: “He called his disciples…and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles” (Luke 6:12-16) Jesus calls all willing people to become his disciples and he chooses some willing disciples to devote their lives for specific assignments. If I am to become a disciple of Jesus, I must fulfill my task!

  18. To fulfill my task requires… That I DISCOVER my God-given task. That I DEFINE my role in the task. That I DEVOTE my life to the task. That I DISCIPLINE myself for the task. That I DEPEND upon the Lord for strength to fulfill my task.

  19. LESSONS • Jesus asks you to follow him and be his disciple. • Being a disciple is a lifelong process of lovingly obeying Jesus and influencing others to do the same.

  20. LESSONS • Following Jesus might mean leaving what you are doing to take on his special assignment for you. • Discipleship is first an “alignment” to Jesus before an “assignment” from Jesus.
