- Within a short time, the message was being spread by from a small group of men to becoming a universal church in the known world.
- It’s is usually not the missionaries that makes the greatest impact on a foreign field, but the people within that culture that get saved and share with others.
- One does not need to be a superstar to affect the world for God; anyone willing to follow Christ can affectively lead others.
- The purpose of God’s gifts is not to produce pride rather to perfect the saints in the body.
- Paul said follow him like he followed Christ. Paul was not the picture of perfection rather an example of trying to live like a disciple of Christ.
- Witnessing was not a technique or ministry rather a lifestyle.
- No one today will take serious their command to make disciples until they first pick up their cross.
- If the people of God are going to affectively share the gospel, their life must reflect what the gospel represents.
- If aspiring leaders are going to learn the meaning of the Christlike life, we have to be together enough for them to see it lived out.
- Truth was not taught in revelations, it was caught by in their shared lives.
- Impacting others through shared lives can be accomplished easier through smaller groups within the church.
- If discipleship is going to happen, the leader must seek it out instead of expecting the sheep to come to him.
