As humans, we are prone to hide. It's been our default reaction since the Garden – we want to hide our brokenness and sin. But God knows our heart and sees our failure, and He offers us a pathway to experience deeper freedom and love than we could imagine. Join Pastor Jake as he explores confession in the next installment of our Spiritual Disciplines series.

Community

October 20, 2024 • Jake Poole • Galatians 3:28, Matthew 18:15–17, Genesis 2:18, Hebrews 10:24–25, 1 Corinthians 12:21

We are a lonely people in a lonely world. Despite the fact that we are hyper-connected to others via our phones and busy schedules, many still feel alone, isolated, and separated. Always surrounded but never truly known. But even though our modern age pushes away from relationship, Jesus invites us into a new way. Pastor Jake wraps up our series with the spiritual discipline of Christian community.

Hospitality

October 13, 2024 • Dennis Turner • Hebrews 13:1–3, 1 Peter 4:8–10, Luke 5:27–32, Luke 7:36–50, Luke 10:38–42

Christian hospitality is a spiritual gift for some, but a spiritual discipline that all of Jesus’ followers are called to practice. As we continue in our series on the spiritual disciplines, we will be challenged in two dimensions of hospitality (the vertical and the horizontal) and encouraged to engage in hospitality as both host and guest.

Fasting

September 29, 2024 • Jake Poole • James 1:14–15, Galatians 5:16, Romans 7:19, Psalm 37:4, Matthew 4:1–4

As humans, we are innate pleasure seekers. From entertainment to food to gaming to social media to shopping – we love to indulge. But sometimes those desires lead us into sin. Jesus invites us into a spiritual practice that starves the flesh so we can desire more of Him. Pastor Jake continues on in our spiritual disciplines series with a look at the practice of fasting.
