1. Explain why God guides his people to 'count' their activities in history?

For two fundamental reasons:

2. What does a local church "lose" when the content of the word and the history of
is salvation not properly shared?

He misses the main lesson, which is to learn from the stories of GOD, which is the
main spiritual legacy, the faith in a single LIVING and true GOD present in
history, from this perspective every Christian needs to have a vision of history, having
your gaze at the past to learn to experience the future.

3. What each generation needs to transmit with relevance to the following generation
Word and the 'deeds' of the Lord?

Just like the psalmist DAVID, we must train the future generation in such a way
that we should keep our hearts firm in GOD, so that we do not forget His
works. It is a good practice to have the young person wait in their memory for the words
the writings, since in the future they may recall them many times in
moment of temptation and sadness. The teachings and deeds of the LORD must be

What doubts arise for you regarding the discipleship of Jesus?

In fact, I have no doubts, but I think it's time for the Church to
Jesus abandons the conception that discipleship is a ministry of the church
who cares about new converts, because discipleship is not just a
weekly meeting to study the Bible, sing and spend some moments of
communion and prayer, discipleship goes beyond that. The practiced discipleship
for Jesus forged men and women who changed the history of their
their own lives as well as the history of their region. Some even managed to

Jesus also produced leaders, who in turn generated other leaders.

2. Why do contemporary churches have such difficulty following the model

of the discipleship left by Jesus?
a. Pastors and leaders who are not discipled, therefore do not have
referential.
( ) b. Lack of vision for biblical discipleship.
c. Negligence for not wanting to pay the price.
(x) d. Outro: For the non-fulfillment of the essential reasons for which the
the church commits to see discipleship as the main work of
our life, which are: 1. The love of God for His purposes for us only
can be communicated through a committed and personal relationship.
2. Discipleship is a commandment of Christ. 3. By the quantity of
results. 4. By the quality of results.

discipleship left by Jesus.

Note: 5 (five) Justify this score. We have been here for about 10 years.

Would you like to focus first?
a. Study a book to learn more about the subject.
b. To be discipled by someone to have a reference.
(x) c. Start discipling someone to gain experience.

5. When and how do you intend to start this process?

I started a long time ago, and when I began the discipleship, I was based on the vision.
that to be a good discipler it is necessary to be a Christian who follows Christ
as your Lord and Savior and wishes to please God, teaching and also
learning the importance of taking up your cross and denying yourself, perfecting
in each disciple the importance of obedience and submission to Jesus Christ.

1st - To love: based on the word of God in Luke 14:26 we see a declaration of
Jesus, which requires the disciple a condition, that is, if he does not hate
family and life cannot be your disciple; if you do not take the cross and carry it
You cannot be his disciple unless you renounce everything you have.
you can be a disciple of Jesus.

2nd - Letting go: following the biblical text Lk. 14:27 and in Mt. 10:38 Jesus tells us
speak that if we redefine this verse 'And whoever does not take up his cross and
four after me cannot be my disciple" we can come to the conclusion that
just as He took up the cross to save us, we must take up the cross
to save others.

3rd - To give oneself: Jesus demands from his disciple the right to dispose of his resources
and personal belongings, and this means that we are not the owners of what belongs to us
it belongs, but we are stewards of what God grants us.

3. According to Philippians 3:17, what is the basic idea of the term 'example'?

The basic idea of the term 'example' is that a Christian leader must be before
anything the example of the faithful, that is, their Christian life and their perseverance
they may be mentioned before the congregation as worthy of imitation,
the discipler must be someone whose faithfulness to Christ can be taken as
standard or example.
4. In the process of 'making a disciple', what are the essential elements?

Discipleship through observation. It implies a commitment to the

basic principles of faith. Discipleship through continuity. When

through imitation. The disciple consciously chooses to reproduce.
Discipleship through Transformation. It implies more in adult life.

What does it mean to affirm that 'every disciple-maker must be discipled'?

It means that we need to be discipled because we have dark points,

and only the people who walk closely with us can see,
then they can help to correct them.

1. What are some of the obstacles you face in experiencing this kind
of the discipler?
1st The Certainty of Salvation: we must pay attention to the truthfulness of the delivery of life
made by the new disciple.
The promise of being part of God's family: we need to examine
with the new convert the promise of us being part of the family of God.
3rd The forgiveness of sins: we need to communicate to the new believer the promise.
of the forgiveness of sins, which we have in Christ, that removes from the sinner that
burden of guilt and despair.
4th Transformed Life: The last point to be taught is to focus on your
attention to the inexplicable changes that are happening in your life,
both in your actions and in your attitudes.

2. What are the three aspects of Jesus' divine pattern?

a) Vision: I will make you fishers of men
b) Growing commitment: At that moment they left their nets
c) Rhythm of life together: and they followed it

3. What are some guidelines or high demands for a discipleship group

with excellence?

To achieve excellence in discipleship, there is a demand for renunciation.

self-denial and complete disposition, for to be a disciple of Jesus is

gospel.
4. Could you make a list of people who are truly yours?
disciples? Do these people recognize and heed your voice?

Today, as I am in charge of the children's network at my church, the

I have as my disciples those who heed my voice, so much so that I have to
be very careful with my behavior, as I consider myself a 'standard'
that they are adopting, and it is clear that within this there is an authority of the
my part that is recognized by them.

5. What can happen when we select some disciples (or workers)

without investing time in prayer for God to confirm the names?

They will not develop or become future disciples, for

they will have their ministries fallen and true repentance through faith not
will be achieved. And worse, they will be just sitting members in
banks, or perhaps blind brothers leading other blind people.

to the success of having a disciple like John Mark through gentleness,
patience, that is, with a new vote of confidence.
4. What would we have lost if Barnabas had not discipled Paul?

Perhaps today we still do not know the Gospel.

What would we have lost if Barnabas had not discipled John Mark?

We would have lost some of Paul's successors, as it describes

Bible that fourteen years after the separation between Paul and Barnabas, Paul
refer to Marcos as one of his companions, as a member of his team
ministerial. In the last days of Paul's life, we see that when his
time was running out, when he felt abandoned and when he possibly
he let his discouragement take over, Paulo wanted to have two people by his side:
Timothy, your beloved son and John Mark.

6. What is your feeling after studying about the greatest discipler after Jesus?
Christ?

I can say that it left a great lesson in practicing discipleship for

those who are rejected by society and even by members of
churches, we need to understand that the disciple-maker is a guide or mentor
spiritually committed personally to his disciples and that we do not have
that we only relate in the toughest times, that's why we need to be
also friends.

1. Which of the following elements do you see most often in your local church?
Diligence resulting from faith.
Self-denial (effort) motivated by love.
Firmness coming from hope.
Abnegation (effort) motivated by love, for agape love has here a
the connotation of Christian love is a lot of work, this love is summed up in action
where there is this love, there is: donation, effective participation, and mutual building,
also through the works and in truth.

2. Compare your church with the church of the Thessalonians, highlighting strong points.
and the weak ones of both!

The Church of Thessalonians had the following strong points: Dedicated believers to
prayer and patients, dedicated to listening and obeying the word of God, zealous,
active church, did not neglect evangelism, spreading everywhere
faith in God, and faced death, had as their main strength a
constant state of alertness and readiness. Its weak point was that believers in
Thessalonica had been shaken because they heard (falsely) that the Day of
The Lord had already arrived. In My Church, I consider as strong points: The
difficulties nurture faith, love, hope, testimony, patience, and
As weak points: it needs to grow and consolidate in an exemplary manner,
that it reaches to be recognized by all the other neighboring communities, and
we will be ready to be persecuted and troubled for the love of the gospel of
Christ.
3. Because leaders sometimes have difficulties living in harmony
mutual?

The leader has difficulty understanding that no work is done alone.

God "ordains the blessing" where there is unity and agreement, the principle of help.
mutual is precisely helping your partner instead of devaluing them, right?
we should not be upset with our brother just because he does not have the same
skills that ours, for no one knows everything, do not praise your
disciples do not support or help.

4. Besides leading and advising, what other qualities would there be?
discipleship that the church needs?

Work, costly effort. Leadership, being ahead guiding and

5. How to disciple the unsubmissive, the discouraged, and the weak?

The insubmissive: confront with love/show the danger/point the way

Sure. The discouraged: strengthen the heart/highlight positive points/help
to recover dreams. The weak: to carry in the arms/to support tenderly/to embrace/not
to despise.

6. Which of these types of people do you have the most difficulty dealing with?
Have you been thinking about some steps to overcome this difficulty?
