Simple Plan:

V5: “You know how we lived among you for your sake

V6: “You became imitators of us and of the Lord”

V7: “And so you became a model to all the believers…”

How did the Elders live among them?

FOCUS IS ON THE PEOPLE

• Not the ABC’s of church

Attendance

Building

Cash• But the “D” of church:

Discipleship

Questions to consider:• In your ministry, has the focus been on the

program and not the people? Are people in your ministry growing in Christ-likeness?

• Are you leading in a way where you can say “imitate me”?

• When’s the last time you made a disciple? When is the last time you’ve discipled somebody?

• Is your ministry defined by love, intimacy, holiness, fullness of God’s presence---all the vine stuff? Or is it defined more by schedules, tasks, duties, events?
