“Every Christian is a sent one.”

PRELIMINARIES
LESSON 1 INTIMACY WITH GOD
THE BIBLE IS THE
STANDARD OR GUIDE
ON HOW TO LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL. IT SUSTAINS US IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. KNOWING HOW IMPORTANT IT IS,
LET’S LOOK AT HOW WE CAN PRIORITIZE THE WORD IN OUR LIVES.

1. READ THE WORD DAILY

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO DOES NOT WALK IN THE COUNSEL OF THE WICKED OR STAND IN THE WAY OF SINNERS OR SIT IN THE
SEAT OF MOCKERS. BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, AND ON HIS LAW HE MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT. - PSALM 1:1,2

LONG BEFORE THE BIBLE WAS PRINTED AND BOUND AS WE HAVE IT TODAY, IT IS STARTED AS THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE LAW. BY ENCOURAGING US TO DELIGHT IN THE LAW, THE PSALMIST WAS ASKING US TO
DELIGHT IN GOD’S WORD.

HOW DID YOU DEVELOP THE DISCIPLINE AND DEVOTION FOR GOD’S WORD?

PREPARE TO MEET WITH GOD. ASK HIM TO LEAD YOU THROUGH THIS DAY WITH HIS
SET YOUR HEART
PRESENCE AND THE TRUTH OF THR BIBLE.

CAREFULLY READ THROUGH THE PASSAGE AND ASK GOD TO SPEAK TO YOU THROUGH
THE VERSES. BE GUIDED BY THESE QUESTIONS:

EXPLORE THE WORD  WHAT CAN I LEARN ABOUT THIS PASSAGE?

 WHY GOD IS TELLING ME THIS?

 HOW CAN APPLY THIS IN MY LIFE TODAY?

TELL HIM HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO YOU AND THANK HIM FOR LETTING YOU KNOW
EXPRESS YOUR LOVE FOR GOD
HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU.

WRITE DOWN GOD’S MESSAGE TO YOU. BE GUIDED BY THIS PATTERN: DATE, VERSES,
KEEP A JOURNAL
PERSONAL REFLECTION

2. RECEIVE NOURISHMENT FROM THE WORD

HE IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY STREAMS OF WATER, WHICH YIELDS ITS FRUIT IN SEASON AND WHOSE LEAF DOES NOT WITHER.
WHATEVER HE DOES PROSPERS. PSALM 1:3

JUST AS WE ARE NOURISHED WHEN WE EAT FOOD EVERY DAY, READING THE BIBLE DAILY NOURISHES US SPIRITUALLY. GOD’S
WORD CAUSES US TO MATURE AND GROW IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AS LIKENED BY THE PSALMIST TO “A TREE PLANTED BY
STREAMS OF WATER.”

WHAT IS NOURISHMENT?

WHY IS IT SO
IMPORTANT?

3. KNOW JESUS THROUGH THE WORD

“YOU DILIGENTLY STUDY THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT BY THEM YOU POSSES ETERNAL LIFE. THESE ARE THE
SCRIPTURES THAT TESTIFY ABOUT ME, YET YOU REFUSE TO COME TO ME TO HAVE LIFE.” JOHN 5:39,40

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT JESUS THROUGH THE BIBLE?

HOW DOES THIS HELPED YOU GROW IN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?

PRELIMINARIES
LESSON 2 THE CHURCH AND THE BODY OF CHRIST

LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND
ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROCHING. HEBREW 10:25

A HEALTHY DISCIPLE KNOW THAT THIS CHRSITIAN WALK IS NOT MEANT TO BE LIVED ALONE. THE BIBLE EXHORTS US NOT TO GIVE
UP IN MEETING TOGETHER AND TO LIVE A LIFESTYLE OF ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER. MORE THAN JUST DEVELOPING
FRIENDSHIPS, FELLOWSHIP IS ABOUT SHARING IN THE REALITY OF CHRIST’S LIFE WITH OTHER BELIEVERS.

 SEEK THE LORD TOGETHER (PS. 34:3)

AS IMPORTANT AS PERSONAL DEVOTIONS ARE IN DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THERE ARE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS
WE CAN RECEIVE FROM GOD ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER.

WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL WAYS WE CAN SEEK THE LORD TOGETHER?

 SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH ONE ANOTHER (ACTS 2:46,47)

FELLOWSHIP IS “SHARED LIFE”.

HOW DID THE EARLY CHURCH SHARE THEIR LIVES WITH EACH OTHER?

WHAT DID THEIR SHARED LIFE RESULT IN?

HOW ARE WE TO BE IN FELLOWSHIP WITH EACH OTHER?

“Every Christian is a sent one.”

 SERVE ONE ANOTHER (1 PET. 4:10)

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER, AND JESUS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS.

HOW CAN WE SPUR ONE ANOTHER TOWARDS LOVE AND GOOD DEEDS?

 SACRIFICE FOR ONE ANOTHER (JN. 15:12,13)

JESUS MODELED TRUE FELLOWSHIP AND LOVE FOR US BY SACRIFICIALLY GIVING HIS LIFE FOR OUR SINS. AS WE FELLOWSHIP WITH
OTHER BELIEVERS, WE ARE CALLED TO EXTEND THAT SAME LOVE AND GENEROSITY.

HOW HAVE YOU SACRIFICED FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY?

INTRODUCTION TO DISCIPLESHIP 101

LESSON 3 ESSENTIAL MOVES IN DISCIPLESHIP

THE TWO ESSENTIAL” MOVES” IN DISCIPLESHIP

JESUS CALLED HIS DISCIPLES TO “MOVE WITH HIM. READ MATTHEW 4:19 AND WRITE THE VERSE BELOW.

THESE VERSE ENCAPSULATES TWO “MOVES”EVERY DISCIPLES MUST DO: FOLLOW JESUS AND FISH FOR MEN. THEY ARE LIKE FEET:
YOU WON’T GET ANY WHERE IF YOU DON’T PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF OTHER.

FOLLOW JESUS

THE FIRST “MOVE” OF A DISCIPLE IS TO FOLLOW JESUS. AS FOLLOWER OF JESUSYPU MUST BE KNOWN BY THESE FIVE QUALITIES:
1. FORGIVEN

2. FAITHFUL

3. FOUNDED

4. FELLOWSHIP

5. FISHER

5
 A2J IN MISSION CLASS
“Every Christian is a sent one.”

FOLLOWING JESUS REQUIRES US TO MAKE A DECISION. WRITE MATTHEW16:24 BELOW:

TO FOLLOW JESUS IS TO MAKE A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION. WOULD YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOLLOW JESUS AT ALL COST?
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHO HAD TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING TO FOLLOW HIM: PETER & JOHN (MATT. 4:18-19)
MATTHEW THE TAX COLLECTOR (MATT. 9:9)

FISH FOR MEN

THE SECOND “MOVE” OF A DISCIPLE IS TO FISH FOR MEN. THIS MEANS A DISCIPLE MUST SEEK TO RECONCILE OTHER PEOPLE TO
CHRIST BY SHARING THE GOSPEL AND MAKING DISCIPLES.
READ 2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-20 AN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. WHO MADE THE FIRST “MOVE SO THAT WE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH CHRIST? (V.18) _________________________

2. WHAT MINISTRY AND MESSAGE HAS GOD ENTRUSTED TO US? (V. 18-19) _________________________________________

3. WHAT DID PAUL CALL US IN LIGHT OF THE MINISTRY AND MESSAGE WE’RE GIVEN? (V. 20) ___________________________

AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST GREAT COMISSION IS YOUR PERSONAL RESPONAIBILITY

INTRODUCTION TO DISCIPLESHIP 101

LESSON 4 LEADERSHIP CHARACTER

 A2J IN MISSION CLASS
“Every Christian is a sent one.”

A LEADER’S CHARACTER THAT SHOULD BE EXAMPLIFIED:

LOVE (1 Cor. 13:1)

HOLINESS/GODLINESS (1 Peter 1:15-16)

SERVANT – HOOD (Mark 10:45)

FAITHFULNESS (Prov. 20:6)

INTRODUCTION TO MISSIONS
LESSON 5 ESTABLISHING THE VISION

THE GREAT COMISSION

GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU TO TAKE PART IN THE GREATEST MOVEMENT OF THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN – THE GREAT COMISSION. A
COMISSION IS A COMMAND GIVEN TO A PERSON BY SOEMONE IN AUTHORITY. AND WHAT GREAT COMISSION DO WE HAVE THAN
WHAT JESUS HAVE GIVEN US. WRITE MATTHEW 28:18-20 IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW:
7
 A2J IN MISSION CLASS
“Every Christian is a sent one.”

FROM THESE VERSES, WE CAN SUMMARIZE THE 1-2-3’S OF THE GREAT COMISSION:

1. ONE COMMAND – MAKE DISCIPLES

2. TWO ASSURANCES (2 A’S) – JESUS PROMISED TWO THINGS AS WE MAKE DISCIPLES

A. AUTHORITY (V.18) – JESUS PRELUDES HIS COMMAND WITH A DECLARACTION THAT HE HAS ALL THE AUTHORITY.
THEREFORE, YOU HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE DISCIPLES WITH FULL CONFIDENCE AND BOLDNESS.

B. ABIDING PRESENCE (V.20) – JESUS ASSURES THAT HIS PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU AS YOU MAKE DISCIPLES. YOU
SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID BECAUSE HE WILL GUIDE YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

3. THREE INSIGHTS – JESUS GAVE US PICTURE OF HOW THE GREAT COMISSION SHOULD BE DONE.

A. GO NOT COME – WE SHOULD NOT JUST WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO US. WE MUST GO WHERE THE LOST ARE, AND
DISCIPLE OTHERS TO GO TO THE LOST, INTO CAMPUSES, HOMES AND NEIGHBORHOODS.

B. EVERYONE NOT SOME – WE MUST MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL, NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WE LIKE. WE CANNOT PREDICT
WHO WILL BELIEVE, AND WHOM GOD WILL USE TO BIRTH A MOVEMENT.

C. DISCIPLES NOT MEMBERS – WE MUST NOT SATISFY OURSLEVES WITH MAKING CONVERTS AND ADDING MEMBERS.
JESUS WANTS TRUE DISCIPLES. ONLY A TRUE DISCIPLE WILL GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES.

HAVE YOU EVER SINCERELY DESIRED AND PRAYED FOR THE SALVATION OF YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES?
HAVE YOU TAKEN STEPS TO MAKE THIS INTO A REALITY?
HAVE YOU BEEN EFFECTIVE IN BEING FRIENDS WITH OTHERS WHILE REMAINING A FAITHFUL WITNESS TO
CHRIST?
HAVE YOU EVER BROUGHT YOUR FRIEND TO CHURCH?
HAVE YOU GIVEN THOUGHT ABOUT WHY GOD HAS PLACED YOU IN YOUR CAMPUS/WORK PLACE/ COMMUNITY?
MAKE AN HONEST EVALUATION OF YOURSELF BY ASKING THESE QUESTIONS:

INTRODUCTION TO MISSIONS
LESSON 6 ACTUALIZING THE MISSION

MATTHEW 28:18-20
THEN 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, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIIRIT, AND
TEACH THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE
AGE.”

8
 A2J IN MISSION CLASS
“Every Christian is a sent one.”
GOD HAS COMISSIONED EVERY BELIVER TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND SHARE HIS MESSAGE OF RECONCILLIATION AND LIFE. WE
PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT JESUS BECAUSE SOMEONE LOVED US ENOUGH TO OBEY GOD’S COMMAND TO SHARE THE GOSPEL. WE
HAVE THAT SAME PRIVILEGE AND OBLIGATION TODAY.

FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST = THE CROSS UNFINISHED WORK OF THE CHURCH = GREAT COMMISSION

FOLLOWING ARE THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER AS WE GO AND PARTICIPATE IN GOD’S UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

1. WE GO WITH GOD’S AUTHORIZATION.

THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID.”ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.”

“YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU TO GO AND BEAR FRUIT – FRUIT THAT WILL LAST.
THEN THE FATHER WILL GIVE TOU WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME.” – JOHN 15:16

WE CAN COMMUNICATE THE GOSPEL WITH BOLDNESS BECAUSE JESUS APPOINTED US TO OUR TASK.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ASK “IN JESUS NAME?

2. WE GO TO MAKE DISCIPLES.

“THEREFORE, GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING 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…” – MATTHEW 28:19-20

JESUS INSTRUCTIONS ARE CLEAR, WE ARE TO MAKE DISCIPLES. THE GOAL IS NOT JUST TO GET PEOPLE TO PRAY A PRAYER
OR TO ATTEND A CHRISTIAN EVENT, BUT TO HELP THEM TO RECEIVE THE GOSPEL AND LIVE ACCORDING TO JESUS’
TEACHING.

WHAT IS A DISCIPLE AND HOW DO YOU BECOME ONE?

3. WE GO WITH GOD’S PRESENCE AND POWER.

“…AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.” – MATTHEW 28:20

“BUT YOU WILL RECEIVED POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU; AND YOU WILL BE MY WITNESS IN JERUSALEM,
AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.” – ACTS 1:8

JESUS PROMISED THAT AS WE FAITHFULLY SHARE THE GOSPEL TO THE NATIONS, HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US AND WILL
NEVER LEAVE US. OUR CONFIDENCE REST IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE ONE IN US IS GREATER AND MORE POWERFUL
THAN ANYTHING THAT MAY CHOOSE TO OPPOSE HIS MESSAGE.

HOW DOES THE PROMISE OF GOD’S PRESENCE AND POWER HELP YOU IN SHARING THE GOSPEL?

PRELIMINARIES
LESSON 7 SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN THE CAMPUS

WHAT WOULD IT
TAKE TO SEE A SPIRITUAL LIFE AMONG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS BUT SHOULD RESULT IN LEADING OTHER STUDENTS TO MAKE CHRIST

AN URGENT CALL

THERE IS URGENT NEED OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN OUR CAMPUSES TO DAY. CONSIDER THESE THINGS:

10
 A2J IN MISSION CLASS
“Every Christian is a sent one.”
 THERE ARE CHRISTIAN STUDENTS WHO LIVE INCONSISTENT AND SINFUL LIVES AND PRACTICES DRAGGING THE BANNER OF
CHRIST IN DUST.
 THERE IS AN INTENSE SPIRIT OF WORLDLINESS AMONG THE YOUTH THAT IS THREATHENING THE CHURCH.
 THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE FORCES OF EVIL THAT SEEKS TO RUIN STUDENTS WITH IMPURITY, MATERIALISM, CHRIST-
LESS SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY.
 COMPARATIVELY FEW STUDENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SPIRITUAL WELFARE OF THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS.
 THE TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES WHICH FOLLOW IF THESE STUDENTS ARE NOT REACHED FOR CHRIST.

WOULD YOU AGREE THAT THERE IS A GREAT NEED OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN YOUR CAMPUS TODAY?

REACH YOUR CLASSMATES | SUPPORT THE CAMPUS MINISTRY:

THERE ARE CERTAIN INCENTIVES WHICH SHOULD POWERFULLY MOTIVATE US TO DESIRE AND SEEK A MIGHTY WORK OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AMONG OUR FELLOW STUDENTS:
1. THE FAR-REACHING INFLUENCE OF STUDENTS TO THE WORLD SHOULD COMPEL US TO WIN THEM.
2. IN WINNING STUDENTS, WE ARE DEALING NOT WITH ADDITION BUT WITH MULTIPLICATION.
3. STUDENT ARE MORE OPEN TO THE CLAIMS OF CHRIST THAN ANY OTHER CLASS OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
4. IF OUR FELLOW STUDENTS ARE NOT WON FOR CHRIST BEFORE THEY LEAVE THEIR CAMPUS, THE PROBABILITIES ARE VERY
GREAT THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT HIM IN LATER LIFE.
5. MANY OF STUDENTS WHO MOST NEED CHRIST WILL NOT GO NEAR THE CHURCHES.
6. THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AMONG THE STUDENTS IN OTHER CAMPUSES OR IN OUR OWN CAMPUS AT DIFFERENT TIMES
IN THE PAST.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PROMOTE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?

1. LET CHRISTIAN STUDENTS COME TOGETHER TO FACE THE PLAIN FACTS ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL NEED OF THEIR OWN
CAMPUS.
2. LET THE BELIEVERS IN THE CAMPUS BE REVIVED, ESPECIALLY THE MOST EARNEST FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.
3. PROMOTE PERSONAL STUDY AND DEVOTION TO THE WORD OF GOD.
4. PRAYER IS AN INDESPENSIBLE CONDITION OF A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AMONG STUDENTS.
5. IF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IS TO RESULT IN STUDENTS ACCEPTING CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR, THERE MUST BE
PERSONAL WORK ON THE PART OF THE CHRISTIAN STUDENTS.
6. IN PROMOTING A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, WISELY EMPLOY THE MEANS AND AGENCIES WHICH GOD HAS USED IN
DIFFERENT CAMPUSES.

“YOU ARE NOT JUST A STUDENT THAT HAPPENS TO BE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN HAPPENS TO BE A STUDENT.”
