Spiritual Disciplines: Discipline Yourself for the Purpose of Godliness

This past weekend, we had the privilege of learning from Dr. Don Whitney, whose wisdom and teaching challenged us to grow deeper in our faith. What a blessing it was to hear from someone who has dedicated his life to helping believers pursue spiritual maturity and experience the fullness of God’s presence!

On Saturday, Dr. Whitney taught from 1 Timothy 4:7 with the message “Discipline Yourself for the Purpose of Godliness”, reminding us that spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident—it requires intentional time in God’s Word, prayer, and obedience to His will.

Key Takeaways from This Weekend’s Messages:

✅ Spiritual disciplines are essential—growth in godliness comes through consistent time in Scripture, prayer, and worship.

✅ God is our ultimate source of strength—when we stand in His promises, we have nothing to fear.

✅ Faith requires intentionality—we don’t drift toward godliness; we pursue it with purpose.

Looking Ahead: Back to Ecclesiastes

This weekend, we’ll return to our Chasing the Wind series in Ecclesiastes with “Wisdom that Outlasts Popularity” (Ecclesiastes 4:13-16). Solomon’s words will challenge us to think beyond the temporary and seek the kind of wisdom that stands the test of time, rather than chasing the approval of the world.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we continue seeking the wisdom and truth found in God’s Word!
