Practice - October 2023

...be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed... train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (excerpt from 1 Timothy 4:6-8 ESV)


As with any skill or talent, practice, commitment, and discipline are necessary to be good servants of Christ. A strong faith requires time and effort. And our commitment to being a disciple of Christ is made evident in the priority we give to practicing our faith.


This month’s sermon series will focus on six areas of “practice”:

•October 1 - Humbling ourselves in worship and wonder of God the Creator

•October 8 - Speaking to and connecting with God in prayer and solitude

•October 15 - Comforting and edifying one another in our conversation

•October 22 - Finding Christ as we study Scripture

•October 29 - Seeking God and responding to His call

•Midweek - Longing for our Savior and preparing for His return (midweek)


As disciples, let us be examples of these practices, so we can encourage others, as Paul did - What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me - practice these things... (Philippians 4:9 ESV).
