being with jesus 

He renews us so we can bring His renewal to our world  

The heart of the Spiritual Practices to be with Jesus. As we spend time in His Presence we are slowly transformed into people who think, breathe, and act more like Jesus.  

Paul in Romans 12: 1-2 reminds us, 

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” 

This means that if we want to see God renew our city he must start with us. Futher, we need to pattern our lives towards worshipping and being with God. 

 To help you we’ve compiled a few of our teachings from different teaching series to help you learn about Spiritual Practices, why they matter and how you can practice them. We’ve done this with the goal that you might craft your own Rule of Life for you daily and weekly rhythms that allow you to be with Jesus all day and everyday.
