Position for More
The only pure motive for our spiritual disciplines is the motive of loving obedience to God. This series will help us build rhythmic practices in which the Spirit of God leads us as we journey toward wholeness in Christ. By engaging in these rhythms, we POSITION ourselves for the MORE from God. These disciplines become a rhythm of stopping, resting, delighting, and reflecting in the presence of God in the “secret places” of our lives. You may find that you gravitate to certain disciplines or practices. This series is designed for you to explore how you best rest in the presence of God.
