WHAT IS A DISCIPLE?
INTRODUCTION:
The word disciple in Greek is “mathetes” which means “one who
learns instruction from another.” A disciple was not only a
student but also an adherent, that is why they were spoken of as
an imitator. dores of their teachers.
Every Christian is called to be a disciple of Jesus and this
means ca that will follow Jesus no matter what it costs him to do
so. So a Christian disciple is a person who is determined to
follow Jesus Christ, with the desire to learn from Him and live
according to His example.
BASIC PRINCIPLES:
-We need to serve God first, then others and finally ourselves.

THE COST OF
DISCIPLESHIP
TRAINING for COACHES 27
INTRODUCTION:
Discipleship is the best method to reach our world for God. The
impact that the twelve disciples of Jesus including Paul had on
the world shows us the value of discipleship. A small number of
committed disciples who have been well trained will achieve
much more for God than large numbers of converts who lack
spiritual depth.
The true believer must grow in his knowledge but also in making
new disciples, to do this he has to make an effort, he has to be
motivated and he has to be willing to submit to biblical
discipleship and this is not easy, it has a cost.
We, the children of God, must show the world the trans
presence formative of Jesus in our lives, even within the church.
God wants us to imitate his best disciples and ultimately the
Lord Jesus himself.
Putting God first is best, both for the disciples and for all their
loved ones. Jesus demanded a high price for discipleship, so he
encourages us to know the cost first.
It is not surprising that the Lord ended with few followers. dores
and few disciples because it meant leaving everything for him.
However, those who stayed with him were enough to change the
world of their time.
1.-Fidelity.
The disciple must grow and mature spiritually, this will require
sacrifice of time, strength and sometimes even relationships.
God has a personal discipleship program for each of us. He
wants us to give our lives to this program so that we may truly
be transformed into the image of his Son Jesus. Philippians
2:13, 2 Corinthians 9:8 and 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.
4 .-Spiritual hunger.

THE BASICS
OF DISCIPLESHIP

TRAINING for COACHES 35
INTRODUCTION
2. -ROCK OR SAND?
In Luke 6:46-49 Jesus describes two ways of building: on top of
sand (an unstable foundation) or on top of rock (a stable
foundation). Many people, including many Christians, are
building their lives on shaky foundations such as materialism,
ambition, sports, education. cation, philosophies, traditions of
man, human wisdom, etc. The only stable foundation of solid
rock is the Lord Jesus Christ to, which is the living Word.
(III) What is he like who hears and does the Word? (v.48a)
“He is like a man who, while building a house, fell and dug deep
and laid the foundation on the rock. He removed everything
between him and the rock. He made sure it was in a solid
position even though he had to dig deep, which is expensive and
time-consuming.
38 National Baptist Convention of
Mexico
“When the flood came, the river crashed against that house.” It is
part of the nature of life that there are storms (Hebrews 12:25-
29). No one escapes the storms.
The house could not be moved because it was well built, this It
was founded on the rock. There will be storms in our Christian
life, but if we are hearing and doing the Word of God, we will
storm them. They won't move us.
Many Christians are immature, even many who are born. two
again for years. This is a tragedy. Many of these people should
be teaching others or training their own disciples, but instead
they are still like spiritual babies in Christ, still in need of spiritual
milk instead of solid food (Hebrews 5:11-14).
5. EVIDENCE OF MATURITY
- The testimony of the Spirit (Romans 8:16).
40 National Baptist Convention of
Mexico
Are you willing to do this with the help of the Holy Spirit?
When you hear and read the Word of God, do you obey as you
should, or do you do little or nothing about it?
Are there any areas of your life in which you have been
negligent?
God the Father's desire is for all Christians to grow and mature
in Him.
God wants us to lay the right foundation and then He will take us
from spiritual milk to more solid food so that we can be mature
disciples.

THE BEGINNINGS

INTRODUCTION
The Greek word for "salvation" is "soteria." This word could also
be translated as "security and robustness." How When we are
born again and become children of God, healthy and safe.
d. Be filled with the Holy Spirit: Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you
and anoint you to exalt Jesus Christ, and to empower you for his
service.
g. Speak his word: ask the Holy Spirit to put his words in your
mouth, may it be with words of power, authority, challenge,
conviction, life, freedom, love and compassion.
h. Pray that God will guide you to the very person whose heart
He has already prepared (Ephesians 2:10; John 16:7-11).
The Word of God says that he is cleansed from all sin and has
the gift of eternal life. I may not be touched emotion nally, but
you will know that it is different in some way. This may take time
to become evident.
It should also be remembered that the church may not yet have
achieved these ideals, but at the very least, they should be its
goal.
Jesus said that we are to be the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13-
16). Salt purifies, heals, preserves, disinfects and fertilizes.
Then, without realizing it, you have a tremendous effect
wherever you are because Christ is in you. Another vital thing
that salt does is cause people to feel thirsty. Your life should
make people thirst for the life of Christ because He radiates from
you. As you genuinely live your life as a disciple of Jesus before
others, you will draw them to Christ.
7. Begin to pray and seek in faith for those you can bring to the
Lord and those you can disciple.
1. Salvation in Jesus is total and complete for those who find it.
LESSON 5
INTRODUCTION
Our purpose, as disciples of Jesus, should be to make other
new disciples for Jesus. He said: Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19)
This calling involves not only leading someone to know the Lord
Jesus for himself, but also bringing him to the proper degree of
maturity so that he can also lead another to Christ, who in due
time will also reach maturity in the Mister.

for those people who are willing to listen, learn, forgive, trust,
serve, sacrifice, love God, grow spiritually. tually, be faithful,
recognize your needs, remain open to God, and commit to the
wisdom of God's Word and His Spirit.
Do not compete with the leaders above you, nor with your
pastor.
If they don't already know what you intend to do, then explain
the program to them and submit to any decisions they make.
Nor do you take on too many disciples. Are you per People will
need your help, and if you spread yourself too thin across a
number of people, you will decrease your effectiveness. It is
better to disciple one person well than many people poorly.

CONCLUSION
Quality often produces quantity, but quantity itself does not
necessarily produce quality. We need to pass on to others the
quality of life we have in Christ. So those few who receive this
quality of life in Christ need to be encouraged. two to pass it
again. Over time, if this process continues, the few will multiply
into the many.

- More than half of the population has never heard the Gospel.
As true disciples of Jesus, we must commit ourselves
wholeheartedly to God's desire to see everyone reached (John
TRAINING for COACHES 71

How then will they call upon him in whom they have not
believed?
And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without a preacher? And how will they
preach if they are not sent?
As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who
announce peace, of those who announce Good News!
Romans 10:14-15
Jesus also said: The kingdom of God will not come with warning,
nor will they say, Lo here, or lo there: for lo, the kingdom of God
is among you . Luke 17:20-21.
In the end, Jesus will return in power and in great glory and will
gather all those He has chosen to be with Him in eternity (Ma
Theo 24:30-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 17:4). God will
then establish a new heaven and a new earth, the home of
righteousness (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-27, 22:1-5),
populated by all who have their names written in the li brother of
life of the Lamb (Revelation 20:15, 21:27; Luke 10:20). As
disciples of Jesus, we need to be ready and prepared for that
day (Matthew 24:37-44; 2 Peter 3:10-14).
God has a heart of love for the world. He revealed the extent
sion of his love by sending his Son Jesus into the world to die for
humanity (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; Isaiah 53:10-12).
God values the souls of men very highly (Mark 8:38) and does
not want anyone to perish (1 Peter 5:8; John 10:27-30).
-God loves humanity so much that he sent his Son Jesus to die
for us. If humanity does not accept God's provision, it will be
eternally lost. We as disciples of Jesus, need to reach out to
others in the Power of the Holy Spirit to prevent this from
happening.
-Jesus will return and the end will come when the gospel of the
Kingdom of God is preached to every nation.
LESSON 7
Christians, for the most part, have lost the art of being
"supernaturally natural" in their daily relationships and their daily
dealings with other people.
As witnesses of Jesus, our lives must be different and not
contradict what we say God is capable of doing. But more than
this, we need to receive the power of the Holy Spirit in us. We
also need to lose our reservation about witnessing Jesus
publicly, even if we are branded as extremists or crazy.
1. Experience
Our testimony grows from our experience with Christ. There is
no real and vital truth apart from the experiential truth. tada,
because the truth is not effective in us unless we experience it.
Then it becomes real and powerful in our lives. This is what
Jesus meant when he said we would know the truth and the
truth would set us free (John 8:32). This is the heart of
discipleship.
For many who never enter a church or never read a Bible, our
lives will be the first and most important testimony of the power
of God that they may ever know. As someone said, "Our lives
are probably the first Bibles many people read." The material for
personal testimony is built by the Holy Spirit in the very fiber of
our own experience of life in Christ.
2. Certainty
The Holy Spirit is Himself, first of all, a witness of Jesus Himself.
It is the Holy Spirit who points us to Jesus and reveals to us the
meaning of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection (John 16:13-14).
But it is also a witness within us. This is the foundation of our
certainty and confidence as believers (Romans 8:16).
Having believed in him, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of
promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the re
dention of the acquired possession, to the praise of his glory.
(Ephesians 1:13-14)
The word "arras" here also means "engagement ring." so" from
the original Greek. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is given as an
engagement ring between two people who love each other: God
80 National Baptist Convention of
Mexico
3. Boldness
And now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants
that they speak your word with all boldness. (Acts 4:29)
The early Christians spoke and acted with a boldness that did
not come from themselves, but was the result of the work of the
Holy Spirit in their hearts. Jesus had promised his disciples that
they would not have to be afraid when they were given He
wanted them to give an account of themselves to Him, because
they would be given at that very moment what to say. The book
of Acts clearly demonstrates that the Holy Spirit gives the words
and power to those who faithfully testify about what Jesus
means to them.
4. Understanding
Some people are afraid to share their faith and experience of
God's work in their lives because they lack confidence. This fear
arises from ignorance, that is, they do not feel that they know
enough to answer questions or difficulties that may result from
their testimony.
There are three simple steps you can take to overcome this fear.
First, start where you are. A testimony is talking about how you
have come to know God in your own life.
People don't want a theological treatise, and Satan is likely to try
to paralyze you with fear anyway, asking questions you would
never be asked! You know something that no one else in the
world knows: what God has done for you in Christ and by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
TRAINING for COACHES 81
Second, resolve to move forward from where you are. The Holy
Spirit himself is your Teacher. You will be amazed at how much
you can grow in your understanding if you take the time and
effort with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).
5. Ability
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are nowhere more relevant It is in our
life that in the area of testimony. The Holy Spirit not only gives
us the power to speak, but through his gifts of wisdom and
discernment, he shows us when and how to speak in any given
situation. We all live under the shadow of the great commission
to go and make disciples of all nations, but we are not alone in
this task. Jesus promised his cousins We were disciples that He
would always be with them and He is always with us, giving us
power and guidance through the Spirit that He has sent, to
enable us each day in our testimony for Him.
6. Chance
The Holy Spirit leads men and women in areas of witness
effective mon. He is always taking the initiative, opening the right
doors where He has prepared the ground for

7. Love
It is the love of Christ that forces us to be his witnesses.
We are not led by fear, guilt or condemnation. Everything
is They have been removed by the forgiving power of
God's love.

A. The mandate – id. Mark 16:15 “And he said to them, Go into
all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. “
B. The authority – Christ himself. Matthew 28:18-20 Who is
giving the order? It is Christ, the son of god, the ruler of the
universe. His authority demands a positive and immediate
response. Is Christ your Lord? If
Christ is not Lord of everything, he
is not Lord of anything.
You don't need a calling: you
already have a mandate!
III. The voice from outside – the voice of the lost that cries
out to us.
Matthew 9:36-38
A. Christ had compassion on the lost sheep.
Matthew 9:36-38:
Compassion – “to be moved to the core.” It's feeling a knot, or
having butterflies in your stomach.

Jesus! A certain father was in the living room reading the
newspaper, when his 5-year-old son came in and said: Daddy, I
want you to give me a toy. The father got up, went to the shelf,
took a torn world map and told the child: - Try to assemble this
map, putting each part in its correct place. Within a few minutes
the boy returned to his father and said: Ready! The map is
assembled. The father, amazed, took the map and saw that each
part was in its proper place and asked the child: How did you
manage to put that map together so quickly? The boy responded
– it was easy, because behind the map there was the figure of a
man, by reconstituting the man, I fixed the world.
The only man who can rebuild this world is Jesus. If man had
Jesus as a model, all human problems would be solved.
You may wonder: Why is Jesus the only solution? To answer this
question we first need to know who Jesus is. Is he God or man?

Then, we can believe that He gives us eternal life. “And this is
the testimony: that God has given us eternal life; and this life is in

This is what Jesus can do for you. He loves you very much and
has the power to free you from all sin. He not only forgives, but
transforms your entire being.

MATTHEW 28.19-20
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote memorably about the cost of
discipleship, but he would be the first to insist that the Christian
life involves more than simply following Jesus by being his
disciple. Rather, Christ's call to discipleship Luke 14:26–33
includes his call to make disciples Matthew 28:19.
And Paul is writing this letter from prison to his dis disciple Paul

waters to be baptized by immersion. This is why today we
continue to promote and practice this holy command. We do it

It's Saturday afternoon, and all over the country people are once
again deciding whether or where to attend church services
tomorrow. Some will ask: “Does Does it make any difference to
attend Church in the 20th century? After all, most of us can find
a wide variety of religious programs on the radio or television in
our homes. Others will attend worship services, but remain
distant from any serious commitment to the local church they
attend. Still others will move from church to church seemingly
unable or unwilling to decide if they should join one.
But these statements about the glory of the Church of God are
not simply romantic illusions. They can be like proven by the
express teaching of Holy Scripture:
1. The glory of the Church is seen in its election by God
(Ephesians 1:3-6). Whatever the Lord God has placed his love
on for a specific purpose,
156 National Baptist Convention of
Mexico
6. The glory of the Church is seen in the glory of its Head, the
Lord Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-19; Ephesians 1:22, 23). He
is supreme over all, and the Church participates in his glory as
his body (Ephesians 4:15,16; 5:29,30). By virtue of its union with
Christ, the Church truly participates in “the fullness of God”
(Ephesians 3:19). The importance of the Church cannot be
understood apart from the importance of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This vision of the glory of the Church is enhanced by a con
consideration of the great diversity of people that God is
transforming into the unified body of Christ (Ephesians 2:11 22;
3:5,6; Ap. 7:9; John 17,21,23).
7. The glory of the Church can be seen in the fact that she
enjoys the powerful and personal ministry of the Holy Spirit
(Ephesians 1:13,14,17-19; 3:16,17; Romans 8:9-16). The
Church (both individually and collectively) is the temple of the
Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:21,22; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19). Just

TO. The Exalted Declaration of the Scribe (v. 57) This scribe
approached Jesus and said, “I am willing to follow you wherever

blindly follow Jesus. It was more of a thoughtless impulse. It was
more about sharing in the glory of Jesus and the blessings of His
earthly ministry than a genuine desire to submit to the will of
God. We come to this conclusion based on the way Jesus tests
his motives in the next verse.
The burial process at that time lasted more than a year. So, if the
father was not dead, what did the disciple ask for? The disciple
would really like to obtain a per until the death of his father and
the fulfillment of the burial customs (something very important for
the Jews) and after having done this, he returned to following
Jesus completely. He would have obeyed Jesus' command to be
a committed disciple if he had not faced a challenge. conflict of
responsibilities.
We must set our sights on the things and opportunities that lie
ahead. Looking back it's so reckless dent for the disciple of
Jesus as for the farmer in charge of the plow.

The promises of the old prophet were being fulfilled. There were
still anguish and afflictions. Death still loomed and violence,
oppression, the tumult of battle and blood were “the order of the
day.” But something had already changed. And that “something”
really was for “someone.” The Nazarene had walked that way.
His miracles were in the minds of the people.
His voice, his words, his gestures, his exhortations, his cons
soils, indignation with injustices, confrontations with hypocrisy
and misguided religiosity gave rise to people's expectations.

authority in judgment and justice from now on forever?
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary had gone to the tomb that
first Sunday. They were warned by an angel of the Lord of the
resurrection of Jesus. They were able to see with their own eyes
the removed stone and the empty tomb. The angel said to them:
“And go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the
dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you
will see him.” (Mt. 28:7).
As they ran out to give the news, and having tremendous fear
mixed with the joy they felt, they Surely they were surprised
again when the same
The time has come for that encounter with the resurrected
Jesus.[1] The eleven disciples were present. It is very possible
that there were more. Presumably the women who brought the
news to the disciples of the resurrection also left Jerusalem to be
in Galilee. It is from here that Some estimate the reference of the
apostle Paul, when he said: “Then he appeared to more than
five hundred brothers at once, of whom many are still living, and
others are already asleep.” (1 Cor. 15:6).
For many of the people who were present, this occasion was
unique. There were so many words of farewell and priestly
blessing from Jesus. “When they saw him, they worshiped him;
but some doubted.” (Mt.28:17). They worshiped Him because
they felt that they were in the presence of the majesty of His
glory. His doubt reflects something very common in us, a
perplexity about how we should receive everything that Christ
gives us. John Calvin interpreted it as indicating that worship
and doubt come from the same source of amazement when one
does not handle well the vision of Jesus as a Servant of Jehovah
but already clothed in the glory of God as King. It is not easy to
manage these two facets of glory and service.[7]
It is the Lord Jesus Christ who will deliver the kingdom to his
Father (1Co. 15:24). Christ has disarmed and triumphed over
the princes cipates and powers of this world (Col.2:15). Thank

reason it is in the culminating work of creation carried out by

against God and introduced sin into the human race. Through

God and lost his original innocence. final; For this reason his

DEFINITION:
We must understand by Biblical Principle: A fundamental truth
such, clear and extensive that is found in the Bible, which in
addition to giving us a global vision of theology, gives us a basis
to conclude on specific issues.
On the other hand, this global vision that constitutes a biblical
principle fundamental, arises from reflection on a certain set
mined from specific truths or “doctrines.” We can say then that
the relationship between fundamental principles and doctrines or
conclusions about specific truths is a “dynamic” relationship.
Because we have discovered a series of truths from the Bible,
we can establish some principles principles but at the same time
having the fundamental principles gives us the ability to make
doctrinal conclusions more efficiently.
Missionary Work.
1- THE CHRISTOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE
THE Lordship of Christ. This is the guiding and fundamental
principle of the Christian Faith (1 Peter 2:7), the cornerstone of
all doctrine. biblical na. The others revolve around this principle.
The lordship of Christ, in addition to being fundamental in
theology, is one of the clearest and most eminent truths in the
entire Bible. His universal eternal dominion is already detailed in
the Old Testament. (Isaiah. 9:6-7; Daniel 7:14; Zechariah 9.10)
In the Gospels it was evi dent his authority over nature and over
the spirits, and his Lordship over religious rituals. (Matthew.
8:27; Mr.1:27; Luke. 6:5) His authority in the Church is
unquestionable in New Testament theology (Romans. 14.9;
Cabbage. 1:18; Facts. 1:4, 3:3 Rev. 1:11). Christ as Head of the
church is one of the clearest ideas in Pauline literature (Eph.
1:22, 4:15, 5:23, Col. 1:18, 2:19). Now some of the practical
implications of this principle are the following:
6- POLITICAL PRINCIPLE
The separation between Church and State. Baptists, based on
the Bible, recognize the existence of the State (Matthew 17:24
27; John 19:11; Romans 13:1-7), and the purposes that God
also has for it: order, justice and social well-being. Tam We well
believe that God's command is for us to obey and pray for rulers
(Matthew 22:21; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13-17). Furthermore, we
believe that there must be an indispensable autonomy and
independence of action between the State and the Church, since
each Church-State entity is useful in its place (Eph. 1:21-22; 1
Timothy 2:1-5).
Now, some of the practical implications of this principle cipio are
the following: EXEMPLARY CITIZENSHIP As I already said As

•I will seek to teach, exhort, encourage, encourage and
challenge my congregation to know, live and defend the values,

•I will never preach what is not clearly indicated in the Saint ta
Bible, and much less to lead the church to a change of
denominational identity.
4 .-As a leader:
•I will lead the congregation I serve to seek the will of God.
5 .-As Advisor:
•I will help people find solutions to their problems and needs by
teaching the Word of God, without using my authority to
manipulate those who approach me to request help and spiritual
guidance.
•I will keep with absolute discretion all the confidences that are
shared with me and I will never use them to the detriment of the
