This week we start our summer series, How We Grow, using the Bible and Richard J. Foster's book Celebration of Discipline. Spiritual disciplines are practices we do regularly that bring us closer to God. They are part of sanctification, which means becoming more like Jesus every day. Psalm 42 shows us a writer who keeps seeking God even when life is hard. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily and follow him, and these disciplines help us stay connected to God every day.
