Matthew
28: 18-20 (NKJV)
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth.19 Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe
all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Amen.

Guidelines to follow
throughout Course
- Teach what you learn. This material is not meant to be read, but to be taught. There are plenty of other Bible studies you can do if you just want to absorb more information. The emphasis of Multiply is to get you in the habit of passing on the knowledge you gain.
- Share life, not just information. The Multiply process is meant to be highly relational. True discipleship involves deep relationships. Jesus didn’t simply lead a weekly Bible study. He lived life with His disciples and taught through actions as well as words. While this requires a much deeper commitment, it is the only way to truly make disciples.
