Make Disciples Who Make Disciples | 2 Timothy 2

What happens to a church's mission when a leader steps away? In 2 Timothy 2:1-2, Paul gives Timothy the answer before he even asks the question: take what you've heard and entrust it to faithful people who will be able to teach others also. One verse, four generations of discipleship — Paul to Timothy, Timothy to faithful men, and faithful men to still others.

This isn't a calling reserved for pastors and elders. Here in Doral, Miami, Miami Gardens, Hialeah, and across South Florida, God multiplies His mission through the ordinary relationships He's already placed you in — a parent forming a child, a Connect Group leader mentoring someone new, a friend simply passing on what grace has given them. Faith is caught as much as it's taught.

Continuing Week 4 of "Discipleshift: From Infancy to Adulthood," Pastor Ben Kuerth opens 2 Timothy 2:1-2 to show that God's work was never meant to rest on one leader or one generation — He grows His mission by entrusting people who will entrust others.

If you've been discipled but have never considered discipling someone else, this message is for you. You don't need a title to invest in someone's faith — you need a willingness to hand on what you've already been given.
