If you’re interested in some further reading or listening regarding the mission Jesus has given us to Make Disciples (following the talk at church on Sunday), here’s a few suggestions:
- You could start with my blog post!
- Here’s a message by Dann Spader on Disciplemaking in the Life of Jesus, about 45 minutes long. The best way to learn how to Make Disciples is to see how Jesus did it, and Dann does a great job of explaining this.
- Here’s “a simple, straightforward exposition of the passage” from John Piper on DesiringGod.org
- More from John Piper: “What Jesus Did After the Beginning” (A similar angle to “What did Jesus Leave Behind?”)
- The book I have learned the most from on this topic is “The Masterplan of Evangelism”, by Robert E. Coleman, which identifies the principles of Disciplemaking found in the gospels. You can read a short online summary here.
- I’ve recently read “Church Planting Movements”, by David Garrison. He tells some great stories about the way Church Planting Movements (a form of multiplying, disciplemaking ministry) are flourishing around the world.
I’ll try to post a few more…
