Bienvenidos!!!!

If you want to build a ship, dont

drum up the men (and women)
to gather wood, divide the work
and give orders. Instead, teach
them to yearn for the vast and
endless sea

- Antoine de Saint Exupery

 What was Jesus goal?
Jesus came proclaiming a new
Kingdom, a new way of thinking,
being, doing
The Kingdom of God (as Mortimer
Arias states) may be viewed as: The
reign of Christ
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the
kingdom of God
Mark 1:15: The time is fulfilled, the
kingdom of God is at hand, repent
A Kingdom both come and
coming

A Kingdom of opposites: The weak will

be strong, the poor will be rich, the
powerless will have power and the
powerful humbled; the valleys will be
raised and the mountains lowered
 What was his strategy?

Discipleship; Making disciples,

followers, learners

Matthew 28:18-20: As you are going,

make disciples teaching them to
obey and lo, I will be with you
always
Where will your invest your
time?
Jesus Focused His earthly
mission on the 3and
the 12, WHILE NOT
NEGLECTING reaching
out to the Masses of lost
(young) people!
 ??????

Jesus staked His whole mission on a

bunch of sinful, unskilled, unimportant
mongrels.
Who will you stake your mission on?

 Once these men and women do
Yearn for the vast and endless
sea, someone will need to teach
them HOW to build the ship.

Jesus focus was building people, not

programs

Programs (The branches) have their

place as an overflow of the roots and
trunk.

 In the end
Discipleship and the art of making
disciples is not a program, it is a
lifestyle
Discipleship begins with my own
discipleship; followership; learning
lifestyle We cannot give away what
we do not have.
Discipleship is more art than
organization.
Discipleship is messy and hard and
