Multiplication and Discipleship

James Rochford

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Discipleship is building a friendship centered on God with the goal of getting equipped to reach others with the love of Christ. Both Jesus and Paul commanded and practiced discipleship. God's intention is that every Christian experience discipleship, both as one being discipled and as one who disciples another. It is a meaningful and fulfilling purpose to help others grow in their ability to love God and one another.

Passing On the Message

Chris Hearty

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Paul encourages Timothy with the message to stay strong in the grace God has given him. Paul entrusted him to pass on the Biblical truths he had learned from Paul with the goal of multiplying Christ-followers. Jesus' plan to multiply disciples by one-on-one mentoring may seem slow at first but multiplication results in much greater numbers over time than simple addition.

Making Disciples

Dennis McCallum

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Making disciples is about making community where good relationships are formed, people know the Word and people are meeting the needs of others. It is where each person is growing in all respects into Him who is the head, that is Jesus Christ. It is sharing truth in the context of a close personal relationship where you model, help, teach and mentor a younger believer.\r\n

Guarding and Sharing the Treasure

Dennis McCallum

2 Timothy 1:8-14

Paul exhorts Timothy to the treasure which had been entrusted to him. The treasure is the biblical truths Paul has been teaching him. Paul wants him to teach what the Bible teaches and emphasize what it emphasizes. Every believer has also been entrusted with these treasures. Truths like grace need to be guarded. The best way to guard the truth is to entrust it to many others. This is why discipleship is serious business.

The Cost of Discipleship

Ryan Lowery

Matthew 16:13-27

The cost of discipleship is not merely giving up those pre-Christian behaviors that were bad for you. Part of the cost of discipleship is incurring personal cost for the benefit of others. Picking up your cross and following Jesus means sacrificing in order to accomplish God's work, willingly suffering for others. Jesus gave us an example and challenges us to follow Him.

Disciple-making

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 1:28-29

Many modern churches fail to teach that every member can and should learn to become a disciple maker. Many think that is a job for the church leader, but Paul is clear everyone should be intentionally helping other Christians toward spiritual maturity. It is the privilege and responsibility of every Christian to invest consistent effort over a long period of time in another Christian by depending upon God's Spirit for wisdom, stamina and patient love.

The Confluence of Character and Competence in Leadership

Josh Benadum

2 Timothy 2:24

Leadership and character are related but they ae not the same. This workshop dives into how Christ-like character and leadership are connected and seeks to demonstrate how pursuing Christ-like character should lead to greater effectiveness in serving God. Thesis: Growth in character ought to drive development in competency as a leader. Expanding leadership influence must be sustained by continued growth in character.

Doug O'Malley

2 Timothy 2:2
