So how do you keep doing what’s right? I have an easy answer, but it’s so challenging to live out sometimes.
(Psalm 119:9-16)
9How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
11I have stored up your word in [...]

So here’s what we’ve talked about over the last three weeks:

Authentically pursuing Christ
The importance of STOPPING, resting in silence and solitude (what the Sabbath means)
The meaning of worship (both private and corporate)
Prayer
Confession
Repentance
Accountability

Have any of these things radically changed or renewed your spiritual journey?
What has increased the intimacy in your relationship with God?
Maybe you don’t have [...]

Sometimes some of these spiritual disciplines we have been talking about can run together. This makes it hard to process the information we learn about them and leaves us wondering what we are actually supposed to do. So in order to combat confusion, I thought of a way to illustrate what repentance looks like with [...]

Today’s post is going to be about repentance. In Thursday’s post we defined repentance as a time when we make a conscious decision to turn form our sins and walk toward God.
Read 2 Peter 3:9.
Knowing the definition for repentance what do you think we can learn from this verse?
It is God’s desire that we [...]

On Thursday we defined accountability as relying on close and specific people in our lives to help us stay true to the commitments we make to God.
Of all of the spiritual disciplines I would say this is the one that gets overlooked the most. I believe this is because we don’t want to share our [...]

When I first became a follower of Christ I didn’t understand a lot of things. One of those was confession. I didn’t understand why I needed to confess my sin to God if He already knew everything there was to know about me. I thought, “If God knows everything, then he already knows that I [...]

This week we are going to be talking about confession, repentance, and accountability. I would say of all of the spiritual disciplines we are going to talk about in our “Cozy” series these three are the least practiced BUT most important.
What are some things that run through your mind when you hear these words confession, [...]

You were challenged last week to leave your phone at home tonight when you come to worship. Take some time to figure out how that will work: make your plans now for your ride to and from church, let your parents know your decision to do away with the distraction of your phone tonight at [...]

(Job 38:1-13 and 34-38)
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Dress for action like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5Who [...]

(Luke 22:39-46)
39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and [...]
