It is time to put in the work and be doers! But where do we start? Can you simply just hop in and start doing the good works of a disciple? Is that what makes you a follower of Jesus? This week, we will see that to grow as a disciple, you must first become a disciple. True disciples are doers and their faith shows through their works, but works are not what saves. Faith in Jesus saves and is only possible when we accept the grace of God and redemption through Jesus. Salvation is not something we could ever earn or do, but results in a life that is sold out to doing because it has been transformed by the power of the gospel.

Youth: Wrap Up

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.
