TYPES OF DISCIPLES IN JESUS DAYS

A Sermon outline by Pastor Daved Essel Eshun

1. John the Baptist
2. Moses
3. Pharisees
4. Jesus

DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

Matt. 11:2-3 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"

a)     They lack knowledge of the cost of discipleship and this can cause them to doubt.

b)      Show signs of disbelieve during crises

c)      They are people-dependent, hence if the leader falls, they do the same.

d)      They point people to Christ

DISCIPLES OF MOSES

John 9:27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"28 Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are 

Moses' disciples.29 "We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."

a)      They hold on to former traditions

b)      Speak  of things they don’t know

THE PHARISEES

Matt. 22:15-17 ¶ Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. 17 "Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

a) They test people

b) They are self righteous

c) They practice tribalism

DISCIPLES OF JESUS

Philippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross

a) Humble themselves

b) They are faithful

c) They are not disappointed

We’ve been discipled to make others disciples for Christ
