Followers of God are doers! They look to Jesus as Lord, the Bible as guide, and pray for the Holy Spirit to direct their steps.
Sometimes, being a doer is not easy. At times it feels like you are the only one doing what is right. But followers of Jesus are not meant to follow Him alone. For doers, fellowship is essential. It is a spiritual discipline we must choose to practice, just like reading the Bible and spending time in prayer.
Fellowship is more than just having fun with other believers, but it definitely can (and should) be fun! Fellowship is intentional; it is the purposeful rubbing of shoulders with other believers for the sake of a mutual building up. When you are in the company of another doer, you leave encouraged, motivated, and refocused on your mission.
What does fellowship look like? And what does Gods Word say about the importance and purpose of fellowship? Join us this week to find out!

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.
