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.

Alright doers, what a crazy journey! Our hope and prayer is that your life has transformed as you have put the Word of God into action. We follow Him whole-heartedly, intentionally, consistently, and without excuses. As James 1:22 states, we do not just know or listen to Gods Word, we do what it says as we put it into practice. Remember, no amount of doing or righteousness (right behavior) can replace your personal relationship with Jesus. This relationship begins when you put your faith in Him as Savior and Lord. This week, we will look closely at a discipline that is typically practiced corporately (with other believers), but should help us keep the gospel and our faith based relationship with Jesus at the forefront of our minds personally. While He was here on Earth, Jesus instructs us in this final discipline, telling us to take communion “in remembrance of me” (Luke 2:19). This week, our look at the practice of communion will show us that this reflective practice helps us look: -Backward at God’s gift of Jesus -Inward for self-examination -Outward as we proclaim the gospel -Forward to Christ’s return
