Eating can  be a spiritual discipline? Apparently so! This week, we are in Leviticus 23, exploring how the feasting grows us spiritually in two distinct ways. Feasting slows us down and leads us to joy and gratitude. Also, feasting stirs our memory and reminds us that we are a part of something far bigger than ourselves. Grab a spoon and let's get to eating!

The spiritual discipline of stewardship serves as both an air tank that takes us deeper in our faith as well as a depth finder that shows us how deep our faith truly is.  This week, we explore 2 Corinthians 9 and see what giving is really about as well as how God uses our stewardship toward money to mature our faith.

Silence  and solitude is the keystone spiritual discipline in that its practice makes possible the other spiritual disciplines in our lives. This week, we explore Mark 1:35-39 and see Jesus' personal example for the benefits and practice of this crucial spiritual discipline.

Of all the spiritual disciplines, meditation might sound the most mystical to our ears. Common and popular ideas aside though, Biblical meditation is a practice that is both commanded and modeled in Scripture as the pathway to the good life. This week, we explore Psalm 1 to see what meditation is as well as some of its incredible benefits to our lives.

As believers,  Jesus has called us out into the deeper waters. He calls us to move beyond superficial, surface living  and to dive into the depths and explore the inner caverns and hidden wonders of the spiritual realm. This week, we explore Ephesians 3:14-21 to discover what life is like in the deep and consider what sort of re-enchantment is is needed in our reality to actually experience the possible that God calls us to.

In the back half of the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul shows us that the home is the primary place where God works out our spiritual growth. That is because He designed the roles in the home with the purpose of spiritual formation in mind and because the home is one of the only places where relationships are pressure-packed and hot enough for God to hammer us into the shape He desires for us to become.

In Luke 14, Jesus gives an astonishing, if not impossible, teaching about how His disciples should be living a life engaged in hospitality. What we find in this chapter however, is that this call to radical, countercultural hospitality is simply too great if we do not first reframe how we think about eternity, our possessions and our salvation itself.

We begin our Faith at Home series by exploring the pattern of next generation discipleship in the home that God has laid out in  Deuteronomy 6. How does God see children? What are we to teach them? How are we to teach them? These are the questions that Deuteronomy 6 helps us answer.

Martin Heidegger famously said that humans are fugitives from the fact of their own mortality.  We try to forget that death is coming for us. We try to cover it up. We try to not think about it. And yet, in 1 Corinthians 15:12-33, we find Paul explaining that in order to truly live, we must  face the reality of our own inevitable death.  As uncomfortable and as hard as it may be, Scripture would have us wrestle with the reality of death because that is the way that we truly love, value and anticipate our resurrection that is coming.

The Resurrection of Jesus is the foundational issue of the Christian faith. If it did not happen, Christianity is just a house of cards. However, if it did happen then the implications and consequences for our lives are nothing less than life-altering. This week, we consider the evidence in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 and see for ourselves if the resurrection of Jesus is plausible and what it might mean for us today.
