Spiritual Discipline

Hello all! Here's the lesson I taught earlier in a written-out format. It's uber short. Please note that I'll have the memory verse for the month on the side-bar on the left of the screen. There will be another section of the sidebar listing upcoming events and ongoing groups that you can be involved in.


Spiritual discipline is a vital part of our Christian walk. Just like you have to practice a sport or instrument to get the most out of it, there are disciplines that help you grow closer to God. Not only will you grow closer to God by prayer and study, but you can also grow closer to your fellow Christians. As we grow closer to God and one another, we become better witnesses to the world.

Prayer is our way of talking to God. Any successful relationship requires communication.

Studying the Bible helps us understand what we believe and what God wants us to do.

Studying extra-Biblical books gives a deeper understanding of what's in the Bible along with explaining things that aren't really addressed in the Bible. They supplement and verify the scriptures.
