Matthew 6: 33 ... seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Jesus First [11/11]‘Making Disciples 2’

Making Disciples ?

So, What Does‘Making Disciples’Look Like ?

- Going Overseas ? - UK Church Plant ?- Local ‘Ministry’ ?- Following Jesus ?- Loving People ?

... Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Matthew 28: 18-20The Great Commission

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?

Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

Matthew 22: 36-40The Greatest Commandments

The Sermon on the mount5:1 The Beatitudes … Unexpected blessingsSalt of the earth, a city on a hill, a bright lightFulfilment of the Law, a greater righteousnessDon’t murder, don’t insult others, be reconciledBeware lust, Adultery begins in the eyes & heart

The Sermon on the mountDon’t divorce

Speak simply, Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’

Forget revenge, give more than you’re asked forLove enemies, pray for those who persecute youBe perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect

The Sermon on the mount6:4 Give in secret, be rewarded by the Father6:6 Pray in secret, be rewarded by the Father6:18 Fast in secret, be rewarded by the Father6:24 Don’t serve money, store up future rewards6:33 Don’t worry, seek God’s righteous kingdom

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?    

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 6: 25-26

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Matthew 6: 27-30

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6: 31-34
