Movements” mentioned anywhere in

swirling with new converts and
multiplying indigenous churches
planting churches which are Church
Planting Movements.
Let’s take a look at the
characteristics of Church
Planting Movements
and see what the Bible has to
say about them.

1.
Go slow at first to go fast later…
focus on few to win may
2.
Stay only where Jesus has prepared
someone’s heart to hear and obey
3.
Do not focus on personal
evangelism… focus on evangelizing
the whole community through
families
4.
Start with creation not Christ
5.
Disciple people to conversion… not

6.
A novice insider will produce more

The best time for a church to plant a
new church is when it is brand new
9.
Focus on discipling ordinary people
not developing “Professional”
Christians
10.
Expect the hardest places to yield
the greatest result
11.
Small for-profit project often yield
much higher long term access to
resistant areas than free services

When Jesus calls a person to be his
disciple, He issues a three fold call:
1.
Discipleship is a call to follow Jesus.
The starting point of being a disciple
is to follow Jesus. Matthew 4:19, I
Corinthians 11:1, I Corinthians4:15-
16
2.
Discipleship is a call to spiritual
family.
–
None of the original disciples
attempted to follow Jesus alone.
–
Following Jesus meant following
along with other disciples
–
In time, as they walked with Jesus
and with one another, they
became a spiritual family
–
Jesus referred to his disciples as
brothers, sisters, fathers, and
mothers – spiritual family
–
Matthew 12:47-50, John 19:26-27
3.
Discipleship is a call to fish for men.
Jesus expects all who follow Him to
reach out to the lost. Mark 1:17,
Matthew 9:9-13

•
Making disciples happens when we
disciple others.
•
Multiplying disciples happens when
those we disciple begin to make
disciples.
•
All this is not just to make disciples,
but to multiply.
•
As we look at the pattern of
discipleship that Jesus modeled in
the gospels, we see several
principles that are keys to the
multiplication process.
•
Many times these principles seem,
on the surface, to be opposites.
•
Multiplication and maturity result
when we learn to apply both sides of
seemingly contradictory truths in the
discipleship setting
•
Following are two discipleship
principles that must be held to while
not letting go of the other:
1.
The individual and the twelve. Matt.
4:18-22
2.
The twelve and the multitudes.
Matt. 4:25, Matt. 5:1-2

•
Discipleship is more than being a
good church member.
•
It is more than completing a Bible
study course.
•
What are we trying to accomplish in
the life of a disciple?

We see from these verses:
•
Matthew was following Jesus and
also reaching out to sinners.
•
The Pharisees questioned this.
•
Jesus compared the lost in need of
a Savior to the sick who need a
doctor.

If a disciple is not willing to learn and
teach others, don’t waste your time on
him/her
•
Ask 2 questions:
1.
Who are you willing to teach?
2.
Can you teach me what your have
being teaching others?
•
Invest your time in others who are
ready to teach others. II Tim. 2:2,
Matt. 28:18-20, Deut. 6:1-8, Matt.
22:34-40, Luke 10:1-17
