What is the most important investment you could make? (Feb 10)

At our first session, Dorman opened with the question, "What is the most important investment you can make?"

Followed up by, "How do you go about answering this question?"

Think Biblically!

In the Old Testament, from Genesis through Malachi, the Scriptures point towards Jesus in the Gospels- the peak of revelation. Then, Jesus sheds light on the rest of the New Testament- Acts through Revelation.

We answer these fundamental life questions in two ways:

1. What did Jesus say?
2. What did Jesus do?

Mark 3:13-15
Jesus chose disciples so they would be with Him
Jesus chose disciples to send them out to preach

Matthew 28:8-20 = What Jesus said
Mark 1:1-3:15 = What Jesus modelled (did)

How did Jesus figure this out? Isaiah 50

Aside:
The "Fifth" Gospel - The Servant Songs of Isaiah

1. Isaiah 42:1-4
2. Isaiah 49:1-13
3. Isaiah 50:4-11
4. Isaiah 52:13-53:12
5. Isaiah 61:1-11

Being a father is to disciple your children.

If we think about the relationships in our life, in the center is our relationship with Christ. From this center, outward in concentric circles are our relationships in our home, with the community and finally with the world. In these relationships are discipleship opportunities.

Homework: Read Genesis 1:1-2:3
