What the disciples accomplished in the first century church, can also be accomplished by common people like you and like us. The key to phenomenal impact as a disciplemaker is to give the same invitation as Jesus did to the disciples in their first encounter, "come and see."

The mission of every disciple of Christ is to make disciples who will make disciples like Jesus did. His model was investing in people.

In today's world, we are in a perpetual shouting match to see whose voice is louder and whose cause is more worthy. Disciples need to hear Jesus's voice say, "whoever wants to be great among you must be servant of all."

Disciples are meant to bear much fruit that will last. The level of fruit you produce for Jesus is directly proportional to how effectively and deeply you abide in your relationship with Him.

There are two important truths regarding every Christian the Lord redeems: first, God has gifted you and equipped you to make a great impact for Jesus on those around you. Second, every believer has an enemy who will fight every day to make you disbelieve the previous statement.

God wants His disciples to be a functioning part of the church, a local body of believers called together to fulfill Christ's mission on earth.

John Piper says, "But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life."

God has a purpose for your life. The Apostle Paul writes, "Whatever you do...do it as unto the Lord." Whatever you do means anything you must do, anything you want to do, anything you are commanded to do and anything you have to do. So whatever you do, do it with passion!

God has created you for His glory and you come with a set of instructions for how you are to specifically serve Him. 

You have been created exactly how God wanted you to be. You are not an accident. You are not worthless. You have been wonderfully and awesomely made by God's careful and thoughtful hand.
