Cultivating a Life of Abiding

Join us for the third week of our "What A Disciple Does" series as Pastor Charlie explores what it means to cultivate a life of abiding in Christ. Building on the foundation that love is the "secret sauce" of discipleship, Pastor Charlie examines both familiar spiritual practices — Scripture reading, prayer, fasting, silence, and Sabbath rest — and fresh approaches like praying the Psalms aloud, walking prayer, and practicing God's presence throughout the day. But this message goes deeper than just listing disciplines; it confronts the hidden danger of letting spiritual practices become ends in themselves rather than pathways to relationship with Jesus. Discover the warning signs that your disciplines may have become a prison, and learn how common struggles like bitterness, anxiety, identity issues, and discouragement often reveal disconnection from the vine. As Pastor Charlie reminds us, abiding is the root system of the entire discipleship journey — without it, everything else withers.
