You say you’re a follower of Jesus, but are you living as a disciple who loves God and loves others? Are you sharing the gospel and making disciples? While we know the right things to do, we sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that knowing is enough. We can get to doing those things later, right? Have you put your spiritual development on hold? What keeps you from reading your Bible, sharing the gospel, or growing alongside of other believers? Are you busy? Distracted? Afraid? Uncertain? We’ll see this week, that true followers are doers of the Word, not just hearers and there is no excuse for not growing in your walk with the Lord.

Parenting: No Excuses Kick Off

Youth: Wrap Up
November 25, 2020 • Michael Fitzgerald
This week, we will wrap the same way we started. Let us commit to stay rid of excuses and to be doers who put our theme verse into practice. James 1:22 says, But do not just listen to Gods word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. At the beginning of this journey, we decided that to be disciples - committed followers of Christ, we had to be disciplined. We have examined a variety of spiritual disciplines and all that is left is doing them. As doers, remember that faith in Jesus is still the most important thing. Faith saves. Faith in Jesus differs from knowing about Jesus because true belief results in action. Your faith will show through your works (or your doing). We’ll see this week that continued practice of the disciplines (Bible reading, prayer, fellowship, worship, giving, serving, fasting, & communion) keeps us focused on Christ, maturing in our faith, and bearing fruit because the Holy Spirit lives in and works through us. We must stay on guard and remain Gospel focused as doers who make no excuses.
