Week 8 “Heal Our Land”

Our land of healing is secure in Jesus Christ. He fulfills God’s plan to forgive our sins and heal our land.

In this series, we will start 2021 with intercession for Healing, The Church, and Culture. This series will explore what the Bible says about (1) humbling ourselves before God, (2) praying, (3) seeking His face, and (4) turning from wicked ways.

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV), emphasis added
Read it in context, 2 Chronicles 7:11-18

In today’s message, we will learn how to MAKE AND BE a disciple, or follower of Jesus. Jesus himself gave us three things to do in order to be a disciple.

How to Make (be) a Disciple

Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:25-26 (ESV) Emphasis Added

Examples of Disciple Making in the New Testament:

• Acts 14:211-22 | conversion and teaching
• Titus 2:4 | older women train younger women
• 2 Timothy 2:2 | Paul trained Timothy to train others to train others
• Ephesians 6:4 | Fathers train children
• Matthew 28:19-20 | teach everything that Jesus commanded
• Hebrews 3:13 | exhort one another daily
• Hebrews 10:24-25 | stir one another up, meet together, encourage one another
• 1 Peter 4:10 | use spiritual gifts to serve one another
• Acts 18:24-26 | Aquila and Priscilla explained the way of God more accurately to Apollos
• Acts 11:26 | Disciples first called “Christians” (little Christs)

Make Disciples

1. EVERY CHRISTIAN should make disciples by helping people to trust and follow Jesus;
2. EVERY CHRISTIAN should make disciples by helping, teaching, training, and encouraging other believers to grow more mature and Christlike; and
3. EVERY CHRISTIAN should be getting help for themselves from others to grow and mature in faith.

Jesus Says,

1. COME to Me (Luke 14:26)
2. CARRY your Cross (Luke 14:27-32)
3. GIVE UP everything (Luke 14:33-35)

So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. ³⁴ “Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? ³⁵ It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Luke 14:33-35 (ESV)

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need

Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV)
