Conley White, our guest preacher on Sunday, invited a young man he is discipling to share his testimony to the church. Do you have anybody in your life who has discipled you? Have you ever discipled somebody like that?

Read Matthew 28:16-20. Discipleship is the life-long process of following Jesus together with others. How does Jesus commands his followers to follow him in this passage?

Read John 17:20-21. In this passage, Jesus prays for his disciples and for those who will become disciples through their message. What is the significance of this prayer for Jesus’ focus on the night of his betrayal?

Read Luke 9:23-25. What does it mean to “pick up your cross daily”? What is the daily cross you’re being called to carry?

In the sermon, Conley said, “Disciples are made through teaching, not with words only, but with the power of the always-present Lord Jesus Christ.” How do we make disciples in light of Jesus’ finished work on the cross and ongoing work through his Spirit?

How is the Spirit leading you to apply this week’s sermon?
