Sunday night, we finished Living the Liturgy, a series focused on the essential elements of the Practice service. Why does every Practice gathering include a spiritual practice? We defined a spiritual practice as any activity that helps us live more fully in the presence of God. In this way, practices allow us to keep company with Jesus so that we might be formed by Jesus to be like Jesus and put His teaching into practice for the sake of the world.
Kingdom Practices
This week, how might we be a bit more intentional about embracing the presence of God in our spiritual practices? Perhaps there is a specific practice you are being invited to engage, or maybe you will simply be more intentional about God’s presence in the practices that are already a part of our life.
