Sermon Notes:
We must pour ourselves into praying for the spiritual health of disciples because only God has the power to prepare disciples for the King's return.
I. Disciple-makers pray for opportunities to disciple the disciples. (3:11)
Deuteronomy 6:4
A healthy prayer life protects us from trying to obey God without God.
Proverbs 16:9
II. Disciple-makers pray for growing love among disciples. (3:12)
1) The Source of Love: God
Ephesians 5:1-2
2) The Amount of Love: Limitless
3) The Recipients of Love: Everyone
1 John 3:11, 1 John 3:23, 1 John 4:21
4) The Example of Love: Disciple Makers
III. Disciple-makers pray for unwavering holiness to characterize disciples. (3:13a)
IV. Disciple-makers pray for spiritual health because that is what will matter when the King comes for His disciples. (3:13b)
#1 - Will this prayer matter when Jesus returns?
#2 - If God answers this prayer for my brother/sister in Christ, will he/she be more prepared for the coming of Jesus?
