WELCOME! 1st time & returning guests
We are a few weeks into a Discipleship series.
Our 1st week we talked about what a disciple is;
Someone who KNOWS; DOES; GROWS & GOES
We also said that it’s extremely helpful to have a good working definition of a disciple - Person who is becoming more like Jesus
Week #2 we asked the question, What are things that a disciple of Jesus does?
What are the marks of a disciple.
If you’re a disciple, people should be able to see that in you, right?
Knowing, doing, growing, going
Worship the Father
Committed to Christian community
Before we get to a third mark of a disciple, let me ask everyone a question.
What can I do to change the spiritual course of my life?
Nothing!
1st answer: Nothing!
You can’t change you.
God is in the business of changing people.
As much as we want to be in control of changing what we want to change, God is in charge of that.
1st answer: Nothing!
You can’t change you.
God is in the business of changing people.
As much as we want to be in control of changing what we want to change, God is in charge of that.
You can’t change you.
Let me get more specific - You cannot change your spiritual life.
Only God is qualified to do that job.
He is in the business of changing people.
As much as we want to be in control of changing what needs changed and what we want to change, God is in charge of that.
BUT… This is kind of a trick question.
Because even though I said there’s nothing YOU can do, there is something that you must do.
Unfortunately… some Jesus followers don’t actually do much following of Jesus - it’s more of a one-time-decision; got my ticket punched; got what I need; gonna live my life; oh…you mean there’s more to this disciple thing than just believing?
Disciples should be different…
“Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales.
Instead, train yourself to be godly.
Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.
