Hymn: Because He Lives
Memory Verse: 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;
and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He
who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Lesson: Discipleship
Pastor Ashley’s remarks and intro of First principle
First Principle: Model
Character: Paul
Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me,
just as I also imitate Christ.
Question: What are some areas
of life where we naturally influence the mind set and behavior of others?
Follow Up Question: What are some ways leadership
can be expressed through our daily lives?
Conclusion: Our spiritual DNA is
much like our biological DNA. We tend to imitate our spiritual mothers and
fathers. This is by God’s design. For this reason, we should pay close
attention to those who follow us.
Pastor Ashley’s remarks and intro of
second principle
Second Principle: Mentor
Character: Timothy
Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 2:25-26 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth.
Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to
their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive
by him to do whatever he wants.
Question: Can we always expect
others will listen to our well meant instructions?
Follow Up Question: What can we do to position ourselves
to be heard?
Conclusion: It is important we
take the time to teach others and instruct them concerning God’s ways,
especially those who are headed down destructive paths. Our instructions should
come from a heart of humility realizing that we too are susceptible to sin.
Pastor
Ashley’s remarks and intro of third principle
Third Principle: Multiply
Character:
Paul
Scripture
Reference: 2 Timothy 2:2 You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable
witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able
to pass them on to others.
Question: What is the
difference in being able and being faithful?
Conclusion: It is not only our
responsibility to lead others and teach others but also to make them fruitful
in their adventures of life. Fruit is a second generation expression of life.
