How Discipleship Works [Titus 2:1-8]

In Ephesians 4:9-16, we learn that by grace, saints build up the church.

In Hebrews 10:24-25, we learn that we grow as disciples when we love and stir up one another towards agape love and good works. The isolated believer is an easy target for attacks from the enemy. Christ's second coming should create urgency in our discipleship.

In Matthew 28:18-20, we learn that Christ's authority means discipleship is necessary. Discipleship is not a spiritual chore but rather a spiritual blessing. Christ's presence enables us to engage in discipleship.

In Romans 6:15-23, we learn that grace produces righteousness, not sin and we should offer all of ourselves to God, and death doesn't "become" believers.

In Romans 6:12-14, we learn that we are no longer slaves to sin. This is war. Don't be a weapon for unrighteousness. Be a weapon for righteousness. Sin cannot win!

In Romans 6:1-11, we learn that the Gospel is never an excuse to sin. We are dead to sin and alive in Christ. We need to think rightly about our relationship to sin.

In Romans 5:12-21, we learn that in Christ's death, sin and death are undone.

In Romans 5:6-11, we learn that God's love is different. He died for sinners, He turned enemies into friends, He will save us from His wrath, so we boast in Him alone.

In Romans 5:3-5, we learn that trials do not derail us, because God is working through them. We can be confident in our trials. God uses our trials for good and the Gospel guarantees God's love for us.

In Romans 5:1-2, we learn that the Gospel is good news because it brings good results and because of the Gospel, we rejoice in the hope of God's glory.

In Romans 4:13-25, we learn that God's promise is not based on law. Salvation is by faith alone because it rests on God who promises the impossible and our assurance of salvation is based on Jesus' death and resurrection.

In Romans 4:1-12, we learn that Christ's righteousness is our righteousness.

In Romans 3:27-31, we learn that salvation by faith alone rules out boasting, racism and reckless living.

In Romans 3:21-26, we learn that righteousness only comes by faith, any sinner can be redeemed, and the cross proves that God is righteous when He saves.

In Romans 3:9-20, we learn that God never judges us unfairly and His standards are perfectly just.

In Romans 3:1-8, we learn that God is just when He judges, and He is just when He saves.

In Romans 2:12-29, we learn that conscience, the Bible and status, is not enough to save us - only faith in Jesus Christ.

In Romans 2:1-11, we learn that God's impartial standard means everyone needs His grace.

In Romans 1:18-23, we learn that God's righteousness is needed because God's wrath is real, no human has an excuse for rejection of God, and idolatry is always an exchange.

In Romans 1:16-17, we learn that the Gospel is the power of God to save and the power of the Gospel is in God's provision of righteousness.

In Romans 1:8-15, we learn that spiritual health is paramount, and evangelism is just the beginning.

In Romans 1:1-7, we learn that Jesus is the Son who always was, the chosen seed of David, the Lord of all, and the appointed, powerful Son of God and that faith-driven obedience to Jesus as Christ & Lord is for all.

In Nehemiah 13:1-31, we learn that restoration requires persistent reformation by faith.

In John 20:11-18, we learn that the resurrection was the beginning of the better Mercy Seat, of the death of death, and of our transformation.
