How Can We Access the Divine Presence of God?
This week we begin a new series entitled, In the Way. This series will be an exploration of the traditional spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith.
Over the past three months I have written in the newsletter about how spiritual formation takes place within the church. To begin the journey as a disciple, we have to have a vision of spiritual formation. Then we have to aim at that goal by adjusting our thinking and worldview to match that of the scriptures. Last, we must take action. Knowledge alone is insufficient if we do not apply effort toward spiritual formation.
In short, this series will be an invitation to undertake the spiritual disciplines with the understanding that they are practices that usher us into the presence of God and help us to be formed spiritually for God’s purposes.
Grace & Peace,
Rev. Adam Thornton
