Welcome:
Wesley Scott Amos School of Discipleship
Welcome to the Wesley Scott Amos School of Discipleship. Our purpose is not to issue a degree, certificate or license. We simply want to assist you in becoming more like our Lord through the disciplined study of Scriptural truth. This is always the goal of discipleship — that we grow in the grace and knowledge and likeness of Jesus.
All videos and notes are available at no charge. We have included study questions to help you assimilate information. I won’t be checking your answers because the real test of discipleship is not questions on a page. It is the way we live each day as disciples of our Lord and Savior.
People like to say they have “radical faith,” they are “radical Christians.” The word radical derives from the Latin word for roots — radix. Radical faith is faith with good roots — rooted in the good soil of doctrinal truth and holy living. Growing good roots requires diligence and discipline.
Why study Scripture and doctrine? Because as we read and study the word of God and the doctrines that explain God’s word, and as we commit to live the truth, we grow into men and women who can glorify God and fulfill His purpose in our generation.
The Apostle Paul said, “Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ” (Col. 2:6-8).
It’s hard to take people captive when we know who are and what we believe, when we have deep roots in the faith. Sinking deep roots requires diligence and discipline. Our prayer is that as you study, you will not simply acquire knowledge but you will become more like the Lord who created us and redeemed us for Himself. As this takes place, we are able to fulfill the purpose which God designed for our lives.
The Apostle Paul said to a young Timothy, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
The Apostle Peter exhorted the church, “Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation" (I Peter 2:2).
May we be inspired by those words and may we also, as Timothy and as the first century church, sink good roots and grow into saints who glorify God in our generation.
