Life with the Holy Spirit should be a regular practice. -Steve Nicholson

Distraction is all around us. But what happens when that distraction becomes something that makes us forget who we truly are? Here’s where fasting can help us.

Jesus prayed all the time. The ways we see Jesus pray invite us into similar spaces with God. Renee looks at the life of Jesus to consider how we might engage in the spiritual practice of prayer.

Why should we put the Bible at the center of our spiritual formation? Ted explores this question, looking at the way Jesus treasured Scripture.

This week we begin a new series on becoming like Jesus by doing the things that Jesus did – the doing of spiritual formation practices. This is good news for us and for our city.

It is hard to stick together when life is complicated and we are not at our best. But God has given us each other, so we are not going to give up. Creativity and flexibility are necessary!

This week we look at Matthew 16 and the beginning of the church, the new people of God. The church is the house built on the rock, and nothing can stop it.

In this crazy season we’re living in, we need each other now more than ever. As we do life together, Jesus transforms us into the people he created us to be and we become bringers of hope to our city.

On this week’s final Coping With COVID, Ted Kim hosts a conversation with John Willison.

John is the senior pastor of Abundant Grace International Fellowship in Shanghai, China. Prior to that, John and his family spent 12 years in East Africa leading a thriving church for expats. Many of you may remember that John was also a pastor at the Evanston Vineyard during the late 80s to early 00s.

Before everything closed down in the US, John had already been navigating the pandemic for months in China. He’ll share the wisdom he’s gleaned from his experience.

As we conclude our series in the Life Worth Living, we ask the question: What role do we play in the winning of our city to the Good Life Jesus offers us?
