Make Disciples
You are called to make disciples.
How?
I use a simple path: meet with people. Go over a Scripture passage. Talk about what it says. And ask as the parting moment: what are you going to do about what we just read. Seek definite actions, not things like “I need to have more faith.” Rather, “I am going to be generous to someone in need this week” or “I will witness to another person about Jesus Christ and invite them to a meeting like this.”
To get started, what about doing 7 meetings on the miracles in John’s Gospel?
The water into wine
Healing the official’s son
Healing the paralyzed man
Feeding the 5000
Jesus walking on the water
Healing the man born blind
Raising Lazarus from the dead.
Read each passage together. Discuss what it means. Use the 2 questions:
What is the Spirit saying to you?
What are you going to do about it?
Make sure to hold each other accountable to what you said you were going to do.
This is what Drew Meadows calls the BBQ Method: a Buddy, a Bible, and 2 Questions.
You have a Bible and 2 Questions. But you say, “I don’t have a buddy to share this with.”
Pray for one. They will show up.
Now it is just a question of commitment. Will you pray through nerves and awkwardness long enough to do it?
