Q. What is the discipleship nugget?
A.  A monthly brief reminder of the great commission given by our Lord to the church to make disciples.

• Consist of biblical principles to pass on to the one you are discipling.

 
The purpose of the church is to glorify God by helping fulfill His great commission given in Matthew 28:19-20. In this text there is one command with three action verbs; The command is to make disciples!          
The church primary mission on earth is to make disciples; Many churches believe their mission is to become performing centers.

The term disciple comes from the Greek word “matheteusate” which means: a learner.
 
The three action verbs are as follow:

• The first one is “going” with emphasis on as we are going about our daily activities and rub shoulders with others we are to share the gospel with them.

> For example as you are going to school, work, doctor’s office, market places and community - make disciples.

• The second verb is “baptizing” which comes from the Greek root word baptize. Baptizing means to identify with the person of Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection in every area of life.
• The third verb is “teaching” to observe. We are to teach people the whole counsel of God and equip them with skills they need to be fully trained disciples.
