What are Spiritual Disciplines?
Spiritual Disciplines are habits, practices, and rhythms that cultivate spiritual growth in a disciple’s life. When centered on God instead of self-effort, spiritual disciplines produce the fruit of Christ-like transformation.
During the months of APRIL & MAY 2021, we are focusing on the Spiritual Discipline of The Word as part of our church-wide discipleship plan, Beholding & Becoming.
The Bible is the inspired and authoritative written Word of God. The discipline of engaging in the Word is setting apart intentional time to read, meditate on and memorize scripture.
Below is a curated list of resources on The Word designed to help you grow. Revisit these articles, podcasts & videos anytime, and share with a friend!
