Remember our goal is to progress through the chairs from Chair 1 to Chair 4.
Matthew
Slide #4
To move from chair 1 to chair too takes a transformational change…a changed heart.
To move from Chair 1 to Chair 2 takes a transformational change…a changed heart.
Slide #5
As a person is sitting in Chair 2 they are observing, learning, growing, and the commitment level is minimum.
As they begin to understand why their were made and who they are they begin to drift toward Chair 3.
One thing we need understand is that people will move from Chair 2 to Chair 3 at different times.
There is no set time frame that we can use to judge if someone is ready.
Slide #6
It was 18 months into His ministry when Jesus made a radical move and challenged four men, James and John, Simon, and Andrew to follow Him and begin deeper training.
Jesus would make them “fishers of men.”
It was at this point that these 4 men moved to Chair 3.
The goal for the person in chair 2 is to not get stuck in the chair.

Hebrews
A chair 3 person is no longer a spiritual child, but they are also not yet a parent.
By now they should not only be able to feed themselves, they should be able to feed others.
They are a spiritual teenager.
Now that brings up many different images.
Slide #10
They are full of energy, zeal, unbridled passion, and invincibility.
Young people are zealous for action and becoming independent.
They have mastered some basic skills and may think they can conquer the world on their own.
Teens are willing to step out and try new things.
They have a teachable spirit, which makes this stage of life full of new experiences.
They long to be given the chance both to fail and to succeed.
If they fail, we need to be there to help pick them up.
If they succeed, we need to be there to remind them of the source of their success.
Eighteen months into His ministry, Jesus made a radical move.
He issued His third challenge to a group of four men—James and John, Simon and Andrew.
“Follow me,” He said, “and I will make you fishers of men” (; ESV).
Jesus singled out these two sets of brothers for a deepened investment.
They were not yet the Twelve, although they all became a part of His Twelve eventually.
At this point, they were in Chair 3.
Slide #11
It is at this time that a deeper investment is needed from a spiritual parent.
They need direction.
Slide #12
Young men are zealous for action and becoming independent.
They have mastered some basic skills and desire to be others-oriented.
Whereas a child or infant (Chair 2) is “me” oriented—in a healthy way—a Chair 3 person begins putting others before their own interests.
They become aware of the needs of others and begin to experience the joys of serving others and being productive.

Slide #13
Chair 3 people are workers engaged in the work of ministry.
They work within the Body of Christ (the church), and they are also laboring in the field (the world).
They are concerned about bringing in the harvest.
Slide #14
I call this peer care (within the body) and peer share (within the harvest field).
Peer care is caring for younger believers, and peer share is caring for unbelievers.
