As we continue our journey of drawing closer to Jesus through the various means of grace, today we look at the concept of Resting and Delighting. Enjoy as Craig adapts two excerpts on the topics of resting and the Sabbath from Ruth Barton and Peter Scazzero.
Physical Walking as a Means of Grace
Whether you are walking around the neighbourhood or hiking in the mountains, walking awakens your life with Christ as it revives body and soul. God Walk explores walking as spiritual formation, walking as healing, walking as exercise, walking as prayer, walking as pilgrimage, suffering, friendship, attentiveness, and more . . .alongside the God who, incarnate in Jesus, turns to us as he passes by‒always on foot‒and says simply, “Come, follow me.”
Praying through the Lord's Prayer - Day 1
As we start our journey of experimenting with the means of grace, we will look to pray and learn to “riff off” of the Lord’s Prayer. We will post some thoughts from John Smed’s book, ‘Journey in Prayer’, regarding each line of the Lord’s prayer to help you plug in to the heart of Jesus behind this prayer.
Connecting with God through His Word: Part One
Over the next 21 days, we will be experimenting with various ‘means of grace’ so that we can see Jesus more clearly so that we may draw on his grace all the more and thereby live in greater intimacy with God. To start us off, Craig gives some helpful insights on how we can best connect with God through reading the Bible.
