Outline

Be Family—a single drop doesn’t make a cloud.

• The story of our lives is finished in the lives of others.

• Run your own race, but don’t run it alone.

Live With Purpose—lay aside the things that slow you

down and run.

• The things that slow you down may not be bad.

• Sin easily entangles us because it is our default.

Make Disciples—look to Jesus and help others do the same.

• Focus on Jesus—the example, object, and source of our faith.

• Keep looking when you’re not sure you can keep running.

Make Disciples - How & What

Foundations: Make Disciples // Gospel Centered

March 26, 2023

Disciple is a word we often use, but who and what is a disciple? At The Orchard we say, “Be Family, Live With Purpose, Make Disciples.” How does the gospel connect to being a disciple? What is the gospel? How would you explain the gospel to someone? Is there a difference between conversion and discipleship? Many individuals lack belief in their ability to disciple others, often stemming from insecurities about their knowledge and experience. Despite this, Jesus tasked his followers with the mission to "Go and make disciples," meaning no one is exempt. How does Jesus' authority play a role in this process, and how can we find peace and assurance in fulfilling this purpose—MAKE DISCIPLES?

Make Disciples - Gospel Centered

March 19, 2023 • Matthew 28:16–20, 1 Corinthians 15:1–4

Disciple is a word we often use, but who and what is a disciple? At The Orchard we say, “Be Family, Live With Purpose, Make Disciples.” How does the gospel connect to being a disciple? What is the gospel? How would you explain the gospel to someone? Is there a difference between conversion and discipleship? Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is an identity, not a verb. We have different roles in our lives, but our identity is found in Jesus, and we are his disciples, which changes how we see the world and live. Being gospel-centered means that Jesus and his work are central in every area of our lives. MAKE DISCIPLES must be GOSPEL-CENTERED.
