Being with Jesus

The Christian life is meant to bring new life every day, rest for our souls, and a peace and abiding joy that remains with us in the most turbulent storms. But for many Christians this is not the way it is. They don’t feel any different than secular people in their worries, struggles, and sins – sometimes feeling the aforementioned items are actually emboldened by their Christianity. Why is this? We don’t practice the spiritual disciplines. These practices the Lord has given us to help us grow deeper into Him. Why don’t we do this? Partly because we don’t talk about them enough and partly because people feel intimidated by them. People feel they must be spiritual or theological giants to accomplish such tasks. This is not so – not one of the spiritual disciplines is complicated, difficult, or inaccessible to anyone – season Christian, new Christian, non-Christian. This series is about practical ways that anybody can “sow… to the Spirit” and find that inner joy and peace that Jesus promises.
