First Things First Series

This month, we’re taking some time to reflect on the priorities in our lives and how they affect our walk with God. This week, Dave is looking at what it means to make disciples and spread the love of God to those around us.

You can go deeper with this topic on your own or in your small group using the discussion notes below.

DISCUSSION NOTES

Read Matthew 28:18-20

Famous last words reveal what is the heart priority for the speaker. Matthew records Jesus last words to his closest friends as a command to ‘make disciples’. In other words, a true disciple is a disciple making disciple!

1. What is your definition of a disciple?

2. In what ways do you express your discipleship as a follower of Jesus?

3. Has anyone consciously ‘discipled’ you do you think? Who was it and how did they go about it?

4. How much do you think growing in discipleship is about being in a context where you are stretched challenged and supported, or being in a relationship where you are stretched challenged and supported? What do those things look like in your life?

5. How did Jesus disciple people and what can we learn from Him about discipling others?

6. In what ways if any can being part of a small group help your discipleship and that of its members?

7. What is your experience of spiritual disciplines? Can you describe any that you use?
