This message kicks off our new sermon series Practicing the Way at Trace Church in Colorado Springs. Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches on the power of God’s Word and why it is the foundation for following Jesus.

God’s Word is not just something to read, it is living, active, and able to transform our lives. In this sermon, we look at how Scripture guides us, convicts us, and calls us to build our lives on truth that cannot be shaken.

Too often we settle for distraction or compromise, but the Bible invites us to return to the basics: to open His Word daily, to hear His voice clearly, and to walk in the freedom that only Jesus provides.

Key scriptures include Psalm 119, Matthew 7, 2 Timothy 3, and Hebrews 4. This teaching will encourage you to anchor your life in the Bible and take one more step in practicing the way of Jesus.
