A Sermon Series
“Multiplication of Disciples”
2 Timothy 2:2
Core Value: Multiplication of Disciples
God looks for people who disciple, coach, and mentor others, who
in turn become effective disciple-makers.
Discipleship - Grounding in the foundational principles of the Christian
life
Coaching - Imparting Skills through a relational process from a more
experienced Christian
Mentoring - Being available so another person can achieve God’s
priorities for his/her life.

2. Jesus was the Master Discipler
The 3 - The 12 - The 70 - The 120 - The Crowd
Jesus’ command was “Go and Make Disciples” so others can grow in
their relationship with Jesus
Go ... MAKE DISCIPLES ... Baptizing them ... Teaching them...
(from Matthew 28:19-20)
Paul and Disciple-Making
2 Timothy 2:2
Take the things you heard me say in front of many other witnesses and
pass them on to faithful people who are also capable of teaching
others.
Philippians 4:9
Practice these things: whatever you learned, received, heard, or saw
in us.
The discipling process began with Jesus and has continued to our
generation...
