INTRODUCTION
To live is to learn. We learn what to do and what not to do as the days go by. However, teaching life lessons usually requires a greater level of intentionality. God calls us to pay attention to the lessons life teaches us and to intentionally pass along truth and wisdom.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Matthew 28:16-20
A disciple by definition requires discipline. Discipline never comes without planning, hard work, and consistency. To be a true disciple of Jesus means to employ these tactics from a Scriptural standpoint in our spiritual life and our physical life each and every day.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 Timothy 4:11-14
Young people are paying attention! They are watching how we live. They are hearing what and how we speak. They are wondering how their lives will be like or unlike ours as they age. May we not only live a life worth replicating, but intentionally teach them the who, what, when, how, and why of life from a biblical perspective. Then, may we go the extra mile of actually trusting them to carry weight, serve, and lead within the Church.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God will teach you how to be a better disciple this week and bring young people into your life who you can pass on what you’re learning.
