Randy Patten writes about 4 passage that should motivate disciple-making/Biblical counseling in any church. These 4 passages are:.
- Matthew 28:18-20: We are empowered and commanded to make disciples.
- Ephesians 4:11-14: God has provided pastors to equip people to make disciples.
- Colossians 1:28-29: With Christ’s power, we need to proclaim Christ so people will grow into the image of Christ.

I am thankful for the opportunity to teach these and other Biblical truth at FBBC.
I am also thankful that I am at a church that believes and observes these truths.
