Hey friends!

If you’ve been around Life Covenant very long, you know that we think nothing is more important than having a love relationship with Jesus. Being a follower of his means that as we live our lives in his presence we are being transformed into his likeness. This inner work comes before anything else – before we do anything for God, before we can be part of the healing God is bringing to the world – we are first and foremost just to live as his much-loved children, grow in love with him, and lean into his work of molding and shaping us into people who look like Jesus.

One of the primary ways this happens is through the practice of what are known as spiritual disciplines. These entail things like prayer and Bible reading, as well as a host of other practices, relationships, and experiences that Christians from New Testament times until the present have used to “train themselves to be godly” (1 Timothy 4:7).

Next Saturday, Aug 2, we will be hosting a spiritual disciplines seminar/day retreat where we will be learning and practicing the classic spiritual disciplines. The day is a great blend of interactive learning and solo time with God. If you are looking to grow deeper in your faith, recharge your spiritual routine, or discover new ways to connect with God, I think you will find this seminar to be a real blessing. To sign up, reply to this email or sign up at worship on Sunday.

Lord bless you my friends, and we’ll see you this weekend –

Tim
Mt 6:33
