Roots of the Faith – “Spiritual Disciplines: Scripture Memorization, Meditation, and Application.”

My notes for Wednesday night, Sept 25th. Remember, these are my personal study notes and not a manuscript of the sermon. They are provided as an outline each week for our Tabernacle Church family. Our study over the next few months will be “The Roots of the Faith.” This study will focus on key biblical truths that will transform our thinking and allow us to faithfully live out the Christian life. You can find Sermon Notes, Family Devotional Guides, Prayer List, and other resources at our Church Website.
Over the next several weeks we will be walking through the following Spiritual Disciplines:

  • Bible Intake
  • Prayer
  • Worship
  • Evangelism
  • Serving
  • Stewardship
  • Fasting
  • Silence and Solitude
  • Journaling
  • Learning
  • Perseverance in the Disciplines
