The Mandate to Make Disciples
The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The Philosophy to Make Disciples
1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

The Greek model of education shapes our modern American educational theories.
Our philosophy will dictate our methodology. Our methodology will affect our outcome. We need to develop a culture and educational methodology that distinctively reflects our love for God.

Hebrew vs. Greek Educational Model
Hebrew education focused on relationship - Greek education focused on content
Hebrew teachers tried to shape students' hearts - Greek teachers tried to shape students' minds
Hebrew students were to become what their teacher was - Greek students were to learn what their teacher knew

Following my example or pattern
Philippians 3:17 Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern (tupos) we gave you.

Pattern - tupos primarily denoted "a blow" (from a root tup---, seen also in tupto, "to strike"), hence, (a) an impression, the mark of a "blow," John_20:25; (b) the "impress" of a seal, the stamp made by a die, a figure, image, Acts_7:43; (c) a "form" or mold, Rom_6:17 (see RV); (d) the sense or substance of a letter, Acts_23:25; (e) "an ensample," pattern, Acts_7:44; Heb_8:5, "pattern;" in an ethical sense, 1_Cor_10:6; Php_3:17; 1_Thess_1:7; 2_Thess_3:9; 1_Tim_4:12, RV, "ensample;" Titus_2:7, RV, "ensample," for AV, "pattern;" 1_Pet_5:3; in a doctrinal sense, a type, Rom_5:14. See EXAMPLE, FASHION, FIGURE, FORM, MANNER, PATTERN, PRINT.

Our Methodology of Discipleship

Selection
Association
Consecration
Impartation
Demonstration
Delegation
Supervision
Reproduction

A. Selection
Luke 6:12-13
12One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:

B. Association
John 3:22
After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.

C. Consecration
Luke 9:23
Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

D. Impartation
Mark 6:7
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.

E. Demonstration – I do it and you watch.
Mark 5:1,2
The Healing of a Demon-possessed Man
 1They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

F. Delegation – You do it and I watch
Mark 6:30
30The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.

G. Supervision – You Do it and I watch from a distance
Mark 6:12-13
12They went out and preached that people should repent. 13They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

H. Reproduction – You do it
You raise up people that you are now training in the ways of the Lord who eventually learn how to train others up.
