If you’ve ever used a recipe to cook or bake, you find pretty quickly that if you leave out an ingredient or get some other aspect of the preparation wrong, the dish won’t turn out like it should. Pastor Mark will be teaching today that the Christian life is much the same way. God has given the Christ follower specific steps – ingredients – for a successful relationship with Himself. One of the most neglected things is time spent with God Himself. Pastor Mark will be talking about the negative results from ignoring this ingredient, as well as telling you of the benefits that come from adding this quiet time to your life.
