“Our obedience reveals the authenticity of our belief.” We encourage you to take some time today to think through the questions below and consider how you can specifically allow your life to be Shaped by the Scriptures this week.
Six Marks of a Disciple
We seek to be transformed into the image of Jesus through submitting to God’s Word and applying it to every aspect of our lives.
Evaluate:
Is God’s Word the primary influence shaping your thoughts, values, and actions? What evidence in your life supports your answer?
Action Steps:
What practical steps can you take this week to allow the Scriptures to shape your life? (We’ve listed a few ideas below to help you get started!)
- Use a Bible reading plan.
- Memorize scripture, letting God write His word on your heart. Consider setting up Versify (an app that helps with Bible memorization).
- Choose a Psalm or a chapter and spend the day re-reading and meditating on it. Be open to how God may be speaking to you through His Word.
- Write a Bible verse on a sticky note and place it somewhere visible (mirror, desk, dashboard).

Week 1: Seeking God
Today:
As we focus on growing as followers of Jesus, each Monday for the next 6 weeks, we want to encourage our Gospel community to take a break from social media, intentionally using your time in ways that brings you closer to God. If you’re not on social media or want to take it a step further, considering giving up TV, video games, or another entertainment habit and replace it by spending time with God.
Evaluate:
When you consider your relationship with Jesus, which of the following best describes it? Is He a distant stranger, a casual acquaintance, a helpful guide in times of need, a close friend you connect with often, or the dearest companion you walk with daily?
What are some practical steps you can take this week to seek God in a deeper way?
Action Steps:
- Keep a prayer journal to track prayers and God’s answers over time.
- Use your commute, exercise, or housecleaning time to listen to worship music and reflect on the character of God through song. You can find the WJ worship playlist here:
- Go on a prayer walk by yourself or with others.
- Create a time in your daily schedule that you can intentionally spend alone with God.
