Make Disciples, Teach Them (2 of 2)
Series: Reach, Preach, Teach
Jeff Ecklund
Matthew 28:19-20
recap: A couple points of emphasis:
- Harvest will not wait
-every broken person you see is ready (expound on seeing ripe fruit or berries)
-harvest is never convenient
- The Church must become more invitational
-professing Christ before men is important as Jesus said he will profess us then before our father in heaven
- Reach
-We have tried to ''preach'' without the ''reach''....
-in many cases we have insulated or isolated
-illustration of walking up to a new horse...(apple in hand)
-What is in your hand as a believer?
Compassion and Service
- Preach
Romans 1:16 (NKJV)
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
I talk about what I love...my wife talks about me, her sons, her grandkids...
We talk about things we are passionate about i.e. hunting, fishing, movies, cars, etc.
There is a strategy to keep us from breaking the sound barrier of the Good News!.
I read recently ''Have we replaced our witness with silence?

TEACHER Teachers conserved the values and academia of a nation and passed them on to each new generation. In OT times the first teachers were often parents (Dt 6:7, 20-25; 11:19-21). Leaders like Moses and Aaron were charged with teaching the people (Lv 10:11), and later the priests and Levites had a teaching function (Dt 24:8; 33:8-10; 2 Chr 17:7-9; Ez. 44:23; Mi 3:11). God himself was thought of as a teacher (Pss 25:8, 12; 27:11; 32:8; 86:11; Is 2:3).
In the NT the Greek noun for ''teacher'' and the verb ''to teach'' are widely used. John the Baptist was called a teacher (Lk 3:12). The term is used more than 30 times of Jesus ....Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.
