Spiritual Disciplines for the Spiritually Exhausted
When we mistake spiritual disciplines for to-dos, time slots on our schedule, or Instagram-able moments, we miss the benefits of Christ’s continual and constant work for us. This weekend we will reclaim spiritual disciplines as good gifts given by our good Father, instead of heavy burdens of performance carried by the Christian. Only when we recognize our failure to maintain God’s commands do we also realize the benefit of our dependence on his promises. It is good to grow in dependence on Christ who is not just the author, but the perfecter of our faith.

Finding a Balance
Here’s the question…is Martha really the “bad sister”? What if I am a “Martha”?! We’ll look at three events in Scripture that describe the faith of both Mary and Martha and the lesson Jesus was teaching. Then, we’ll look at our own journey of faith and service and how we find the balance!
