1. How are You Doing?
2. Let’s Worship
3. Accountability for Session #2
Ask each team member to tell:
Which Chapter of the Bible
did you read this morning?
How many have you placed on your
List of People Away from God?
Each stand and briefly tell us your story
Get into groups of two or three and
each practice telling your story and
bridge into the gospel.
4. Vision Casting:
To Often, we get discouraged
when we fail to evangelize
people and make Disciples of
Christ out of them!
That will happen if we do not wait
upon and depend upon being
empowered by the Holy Spirit!
This is why it is necessary to
practice the disciplines of
daily Bible study and prayer.
You Can’t make Disciples of
Christ by yourself!
But You are not by yourself!
5. Short
Discipleship Lesson
The Church
Jesus said, “I will build My
Church!” – Matthew 16:18
We are to: Go and make
disciples of all nations, and
teach them to obey all that He
has taught us. Matthew 28:19-20
Unfortunately, we have
attempted to do His job and have
failed to obey our commission!
The
Church;
What is it?
Before the Church (Old Testament Times), Men Came to God to Worship and Ask
for Forgiveness through a Priest. A Curtain Separated Men from God in the Temple.
When Jesus was Crucified the Curtain was torn from Top to Bottom by God.
The Church was formed so that man could come directly to God rather than continue
approaching Him through a Priest.
Matt 27: 45, 50 - 51
Matthew 27: 45, 50 - 51
From the sixth hour to the ninth
hour darkness came over all the
land. About the ninth hour Jesus
cried our in a loud voice, “Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabach-thani?” which
means, “My God, My God, why
have you forsaken me?”And
when Jesus had cried out again
in a loud voice, He gave up His
spirit. At that moment the
curtain of the temple was torn in
two from top to bottom.
This is what is so significant about
Jesus’ execution. Holy God could
not continue His close fellowship
with His son due to our sins being
on him.
The Old Testament practice was
for a separating curtain to remain
between God and the Hebrew
people. Only the High Priest
could go behind the temple
curtain once a year to offer
prayers on behalf of the people
and hear from God. With the
removal of the curtain, we can all
now approach God without a
priest.
Jesus Started
The Church
He Is The
Head of the Church
Matt 16: 18
Col 1: 18
Matthew 16: 18
And I tell you that you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build My
Church, and the gates of Hades
will not overcome it.
Colossians 1: 18
And He is the Head of the body,
the Church; He is the beginning
and the firstborn from among the
dead, so that in everything He
might have supremacy.
Peter had spoken
from heavenly
inspiration and it
was from this
inspiration that
Christ built the
Church. The Church
shall prevail against
the forces of evil
(Hades).
Christ is the Head of
the Church which is
His body on Earth.

New Churches should grow out of
New Groups of Christians meeting
in homes or public places.
New land and buildings are not
needed for New churches!
Trained theologians are not needed
for New churches!
Lots of funding is not needed for
New Churches!
Leadership for New Churches should be raised
up from members of New Christian Groups!
Christ said, “I will
build My Church!”
Your Commission is to Go,
Make Disciples, and Teach
them to OBEY All that Christ
has taught you.
And you must not
attempt this alone!
Each Member
[of His Body]
Has Been Gifted to
Minister
Ephesians 4: 7 – 8
I Cor 12: 11- 13
Each member has been gifted to carry out the functions of the Body.
If each member does not carry out his/her function, then the Church
will not accomplish what God has planned through the Church
Ephesians 4: 11 - 13
It was He who gave some (gifts) to be apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and
teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the
body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith
and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
I Corinthians 12: 11 – 13
All these are the work of the one and same Spirit, and He gives
them (gifts) to each one, just as He determines. The body is a
unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts
are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were
all baptized (enveloped) by one Spirit into one body
The Greek Word
For Church Is
EKKLESIA
“Called Out Ones”
Separated From the World System
We are not to be entangled in the affairs of this World but
to be a separated people that obey the Great Shepherd
rather than the god of this world!
The True Church Is The Body
of Jesus Christ on Earth
Through Which He Extends
His Influence
Eph 3: 10 – 11
II Cor 5: 20
Jesus is Depending Upon The Church to Continue the
Ministry He Started.
We Are His Ambassadors On Earth

You Are the Body of Christ
Now You Are the Body of Christ and Each
One of You Is A Part (Member) of It.

I Corinthians 12: 27
Now you are the body of Christ, and
each one of you is a part of it.
Romans 12: 3 – 6
Just as each of us has one body with many
members, and these members do not all have the
same function, so in Christ we who are many form
one body, and each member belongs to all the
others. We have different gifts, according to the
grace given us.
God is a God of
diversity. No two
humans are
exactly alike. No
two Churches are
alike.
He has purposely
given a variety of
Spiritual Gifts so
that we will
perform different
functions
through the
Church.
6. Practice
Assemble into
groups of 2 or 3
If they have Bibles, turn to Acts 1:8. Discuss the
Vision of being empowered by the Holy Spirit to
be Witnesses for Christ
Have each tell their story
and their bridge to the
Gospel
What will you do if the one
you witness to says YES?
7. Goal Setting for Session # 2
Review your list of people that
are away from God
Add more names that the Holy
Spirit brings to your mind.
Mark 5 names that you will witness
to in your community.
Pray for opportunities to tell them
your story and bridge to the gospel
