Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida. Here are some of my notes from a session with Robert Coleman:
Matthew 28: 18-20, the Great Commission, is God's plan to redeem the world for His glory.
8 Fundamental Principles in Jesus' Lifestyle:
1. Incarnation- Become a servant
Serving others brings opportunities to disciple; find where people hurt and need help (a shepherd goes after lost sheep)
2. Selection- Look for disciples
Notice receptive people around you; concentrate on a few serious leaders
3. Association- Build a relationship
Seek ways for casual fellowship; arrange times for prayer and study of the Bible; occasionally have extended periods of reflection together
4. Consecration- Teach obedience
Stress the outworking of faith; follow the way of the cross
5. Demonstration- Lead by example
Let them see your priorities and values lived; take them with you in ministry
6. Delegation- Involve in ministry
Make reasonable assignments; utilize their gifts and talents; give more demanding tasks as they grow in grace and knowledge
7. Supervision- Monitor their progress
Have frequent times of review; work on attitudes and character traits; affirm strengths and self-worth
8. Multiplication- Expect reproduction
Followers become like their leader; develop the vision of the coming kingdom; dream with them about their role in the harvest
