VerseD: Hebrews 12:7-8

It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

Hebrews 12:7-8, NASB

Many of the problems we face in life come from our own bad decisions, but God uses those situations to help us overcome this world and grow in the likeness of Christ. This discipline should give us hope, knowing that it means we are His children through the blood of Christ.

VerseD: Proverbs 3:11-12

My son, do not reject the [d]discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12, NASB

We face problems and difficulties in this life, many of which come from our own bad decisions. Oftentimes, God uses our circumstances to teach us through consequences. If we are wise, we listen to His Word before we suffer, but He offers His correction through the Word and consequences because He loves us and wants us to grow in wisdom and overcome this world.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for God to provide opportunities for you to disciple someone new at Church

I remember being the teenager invited to church who only went to be with friends. Then I believed in Jesus, but I still went to be with friends. Then I took my faith seriously, and I went to actively be part of Christ’s Body.

I also remember feeling like no one really mentored me. I knew there was active discipleship through the various people at church, but it did not feel like there was direct discipleship. Others my age were getting more attention, but it felt like their teaching was so basic, and I was looking for deeper things.

Looking back, I can now see how a few adults went out of their way to make time and try to help. May we also help young people and young believers know how much we try to help.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for God to provide opportunities for you to disciple someone new at Church

VerseD: Hebrews 12:11

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews‬ ‭12:11‬, ‭ESV‬

We don’t like to think we deserve to endure pain nor discipline, but our sin does lead to it. And God uses the events in our life to discipline us (grow and mature us) in Christ as His adopted sons (and daughters).

VerseD: James 1:19

‭Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger

James‬ ‭1:19‬, ‭ESV‬

In such a divided world, let us follow the example of God: listen well, and respond as necessary in wisdom. We don’t need to answer everything, just be faithful to our gracious Lord.

VerseD: 2 Corinthians 9:6

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

2 Corinthians 9:6, ESV

We want to give more. We want to be good stewards.

We must sow bountifully in prayer before we sow in generosity and love well.

VerseD: James 1:2-3

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

James 1:2‭-‬3, ESV

The devil goes after those who grow in Christ, so rejoice that God allows him to attack as it shows you are growing in faith and faithfulness with the help of our faithful God.

Hebrews 12:11, ESV

It is not easy admitting we’re wrong or in need of correction, but God sends us through difficult times painful circumstances not to punish us so much as to purge disobedience and draw us closer to Himself.

Hebrews 12:11, ESV

Our world largely seeks to avoid pain and difficult circumstances (or seeks them wrongly), but God will allow and even send painful circumstances to help grow more like Christ.
