Outline // Sunday School #19: Fishers of Men

Stages of Faith
Unbelievers - people who do not yet believe in having a relationship with their Creator God, through the power of Jesus Christ

Believers - first step…just barely believe.  Jesus was a genius at moving people into this step.

Disciples - people who have chosen to not only believe, but to give their life to Jesus. To actively follow in his footsteps.  Some of the obedience pieces are coming into line…a lot of learning and growing, some life-change. Adjusting your life to fit the model that Jesus laid out for us.

Servant-Leaders - people testing their skills a little bit. Using their gifts and talents to lead others, serve others, giving around the church, serving in serve teams, following along behind jesus AND helping with the work of the ministry.

Reproducers - DISCIPLEMAKERS. People who have gone through the other stages, and have matured to the point, that they can then reproduce their faith in others and encourage people to move through the steps for themselves.

Luke 5:1-11

1. Find Jesus (unbelievers & believers)
He allowed them to observe
He met a need
He came into their lives
He challenged them to more
2. Move forward (disciples)
3. Do Something (servant-leaders, reproducers)
