Spiritual Habits & Disciplines

Spiritual habits are gospel-based practices that are found in Scripture that promote spiritual growth in and among believers. They are experiential habits of devotion that have been practiced by God’s people since biblical times. God uses each habit from the Bible, both those done personally and corporately, in a unique way to transform us into Christ’s image as we engage in them by faith. We cannot be transformed into the people God intends without them. They are essential to our ongoing growth regardless of how long we’ve followed Jesus.
