Jesus Model:       CROWD —> 12 —> 3 —> 1

So, if this was Jesus model, and most of us agree that the BEST way to pour into people’s lives is through 1 on 1 pouring/discipleship [see last week], whatever you want to call it…why do we not do it?

Who are you 1 on 1 with right now?

What does your church have in place for 1 on 1 discipleship?

Do we really care about the one? Jesus did, but I know there have been times where I say I care about the 1, and I do, but not as much as the bigger.

This past Easter weekend when you had record crowds [I pray], would you be content if you did all of that “work,” prayer and ministry and when you asked for people to trust Christ, only 1 person responded?

I know the last Easter that we celebrated with New Hope in 2008, we had over 1,300 at our original campus alone. Had 1 hand went up, I would have been devastated.

But in Heaven there would have been a party.

Do we really get that, and if so, what are we doing it about it, 1 life at a time? In our bigger is better church world [and yes, 3,000 saved in 1 day is still a dream I have], we have lost beauty of the ONE.

The base level is 1 on 1…and we have to re-gain this. Where are you on this?
