How did we get here? Why are we teaching through discipleship and where is the Lord leading us? In this sermon Daniel Attaway, our Discipleship Minister walks through what has brought us here, some issues we've identified, and how Fight Clubs can serve as a helpful remedy as we seek to 1) Fight for Faith and 2) Fight against Sin.

2 Timothy 3:16 is an important passage as it speaks to the amazing fact of the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures. We encourage and challenge you to commit this passage to memory as we believe that it will spur you on in your faith.

Each of us are prone to forget who we are and instead of viewing ourselves in light of who God is, we often seek our identity in false things. Galatians 2:20 reminds us who we are and that we are ultimately defined in relation to Christ. For the redeemed, we've died to our old selves and the life we now live we live by faith.

Christians are called to a humble reliance upon the Spirit of God for daily living. We might be tempted to live by other means, and in Ephesians 5:18, Paul uses the metaphor of drunkenness for how we ought to live. Not as those inebriated by wine, but as those compelled by the Holy Spirit.

One of the horrendous effects of The Fall is that we live in a broken world where trials and suffering is inevitable. For the Christian, these things serve several purposes. They remind us that we are not at home, and they produce the virtue of steadfastness which conforms us more to the image of Christ. Therefore, we consider trials pure joy.

We are full of excuses when it comes to not making discipleship, but we have been commissioned and empowered to go. In this sermon, Pastor Tim gets to the heart of the issue and argues that those who are truly taken with Jesus will indeed make disciples.
