Colossians 3:23 says, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” God‘s heart is that we would do everything as unto Him. Learn the practical aspects of the disciplines of giving, praying, and fasting and how these are a call to prioritize relationship with God.
Nate & Gabe dig into the nature of God as a God who desires to reveal Himself to those who seek Him. When we seek Lord and we find Him, there is an intimacy cultivated between us and Him that couldn’t come any other way.
Who are you living for? Join Nate and Gabe as they unpackage Christ’s command to Practice Secret Disciplines. Our response to this command will expose who we are living for. Am I being motivated by a desire to impress men? Or am I being motivated by a relationship with my Heavenly Father in which I know I am loved and accepted.
What is irritating you? How are you responding to it? Are you resisting it or are you receiving it? Join Nate and Gabe as they encourage us how to receive all hardships from the Lord as something He is using to perfect and mature us.
It has been said that “the ground is level at the foot of the cross.” One of the wonderful things about the nature of God is that He is not a respecter of persons - He doesn’t play favorites!
