Holy Habits: Giving

If you could push a button that would:
-Give you stronger faith
-Increase your contentment
-Increase your gratitude
-Increase your joy
-Deepen your friendship with Jesus
Would you push it? Today we'll discover a Holy Habit that has potential to do all those things for us.

Holy Habits: Community

Our relationships with people will either weaken or strengthen our relationship with Jesus.
Today we transition from the inward or private holy habits to the outward or public holy habits.
We'll discover three key relational environments that help us deepen a friendship with Jesus.

Holy Habits: Rest

Rest is a command to be enjoyed, not a luxury to be ignored.
God's invitation to Sabbath is a gracious and good blessing. For much of my life I neglected it, but I've come to believe it's key to deepening a friendship with Jesus.
Join us as we discover Holy Habit # 4 - Rest.

Holy Habits: Fasting from Distractions

An author named Richard Swenson says we can place our lives into the following four categories:
1. Overdrive – deadlines we must meet, stress of expectations, pressure, etc.
2. Drive – work, productivity, chores, errands.
3. Low – friendships, connection.
4. Park – prayer, reflection, journaling.
Today we're looking at a Holy Habit that lets us spend more time in Low and Park, but also helps us when we're in Drive and Overdrive. It's something that Jesus taught and even expected, but we seldom practice.

Holy Habits: Daily Quiet Time

If you grew up in the 80's or before, you've probably heard about something called a quiet time. Today we're rediscovering what it is and why it's (still) so beneficial to deepening a friendship with Jesus.

Holy Habits: Scripture Before Phone

The first five minutes of our day are so important. They're like a rudder that steers us toward health and life or stress and grief.
This morning we'll be looking at a super simple Holy Habit that allows us to start our day by inviting Jesus into it.

Holy Habits: An Invitation to Friendship With Jesus

The Holy Habits series begins today! If you'd like to deepen your friendship with Jesus, join us.

Back to the Garden: Created for Connection

Over the last few decades, we have shifted our lives online. We now do online banking, online shopping, online groceries, and online church.
But we are missing out on community and real interactions with real people.
A recent study indicated that 36% of people endure ongoing feelings of loneliness, isolation, and a longing to love and be loved. Their findings: "36% of all Americans—including 61% of young adults and 51% of mothers with young children—feel 'serious loneliness'." Many feel lonely "almost all the time or all the time".
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Join us as we consider how God has wired us for connection and where we can begin finding it.
