Ancient Practices

“The Spiritual Disciplines are those practices found in Scripture that promote spiritual growth among believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are the habits of devotional and experiential Christianity that have been practiced by the people of God since biblical times.” - Donald Whitney

Spiritual Disciplines

Generosity

When Jesus said there is more joy in giving than in receiving, he turned our vision of the good life on its head. Through the practice of generosity, we tap into God’s joy, find freedom from greed through contentment, and embody God’s concern for those in need.
