Being with Jesus; A Study on the Spiritual Disciplines

To Confession & Guidance

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we conclude our study of the spiritual disciplines with a look at confession and guidance. Take some time to prayerfully read 1 John 1:9, James 5:16 - how does confession help us be with Jesus? And Proverbs 18:1, 12:15, and 15:22 - how does seeking guidance from other Christians help us be with Jesus?

Worship

June 9, 2024 • Pastor Cody Lane

This week we are continuing our series on the spiritual disciplines, looking at the discipline of worship. Take some time to read Psalm 96:1-9; Genesis 4:2-7; John 4:23; Romans 12:1 and consider what they say about worship.

Submission and Service

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we are examining the spiritual disciplines of submission and service. Take some time to read Ephesians 5:15-21; Philippians 2:3-4; John 13:1-20 and consider what they say about submitting and service and how could these disciplines give you freedom?

Fasting and Simplicity

May 26, 2024

In a world that increasingly values indulgence and complexity, the Christian disciplines of fasting and simplicity have been largely forgotten or pushed to the edge of the Christian life, preserved only for those “spiritual” few. This Sunday, we will unpack these two disciplines to find the freedom and joy that can be experienced by incorporating them into our everyday spiritual lives.

Prayer

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we continue our examination of the spiritual disciplines with a look at prayer. Take some time and read James 4:1-8 and consider why they were struggling to pray? Can you relate? Do a study of the prayer life of Moses (emph. Exodus 4:13, 32:14; 33:12-18) with particular consideration to what Moses prayed about what motivated each prayer. How did Moses change over time and what spurred on those changes?

Meditation, Solitude, & Study

May 12, 2024

This week we continue our study of spiritual disciplines, habits scripture gives us to draw near to and experience the rest and freedom of the presence of God. This Sunday we are discussing meditation (Psalms 63:6; 119:97, 101-102), study (Romans 12:2; John 8:31-32), and Solitude & Silence (Mark 6:31; Ecclesiastes 5:1-2). Take some time read these passages and consider what each discipline is and how they help us be with Jesus.

Introducing the Spiritual Disciplines

May 5, 2024

This week we begin a new study on the spiritual disciplines as found in scripture in the life of Jesus. These practices are keys being with Jesus, maturing in Him, and finding the rest and freedom that He promises us in our everyday life. A good companion book to this series is "Celebration of Discipline" from Richard Foster.
