Five Practices to Grow in Grace

As the year 2020 opened, did you make any resolutions for the new year or decade? Many people make resolutions each new year with the goal of changing something in their life. These resolutions often focus on temporal items, like weight loss, or travel, or investing better, or starting a new hobby; and while these types of resolutions are not bad in themselves, they don’t strengthen one’s spiritual life. In light of this trend, this sermon encourages Christ’s followers to start new spiritual practices or strengthen existing spiritual practices which will aid them in growing in grace and and in Jesus Christ. Five spiritual practices - examine, embrace, engage, prepare and expect - are explained. To understand what is behind each of these practices, listen in and then purpose to enfold the five practices into your own life, for spiritual growth through the year.
