Lesson Introduction
We are going to review the 5 Spiritual Disciplines
Already turned the sign around so you couldn't just read them.
What are they?
Discipline is not a bad word.
When I was growing up, spiritual disciplines were often surrounded by an air of legalism.
But today the pendulum has swung in the other direction: it seems that family and private devotions have fallen off the radar.
The very word habits can be a turnoff, especially in a culture of distraction and autonomy.
Yet character is largely a bundle of habits.
Faithful Church Attendance
Helping each other stay faithful.
Hebrews 10:25 “25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
Daily Bible Reading and Studying
Writing down what God shows us and sharing it.
2 Timothy 3:14 “14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;”
2 Timothy 2:15 “15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Prayer
Spending time alone with God in prayer and praying for our classmates,,
“When asked, ‘What is more important: Prayer or reading the Bible?’
I ask, ‘What is more important: Breathing in or breathing out?’”.
Luke 11:1 “1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
Luke 18:1 “1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”
1 Thess 5:17 “17 Pray without ceasing.”
Witnessing and disciple-making
Sharing our faith each week to make disciples for Christ.
Acts 1:8 “8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
2 Timothy 2:2 “2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
Giving God
Because He is worthy of all we give Him
2 Cor 9:7-8 “7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:”
