5 Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith — 2.3.19 Sermon

Part of the series 5 Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith , this message takes up an unpopular word— discipline —and its root in disciple . Danny Cox focuses on two basic but demanding practices. For reading Scripture he offers five steps—read, reflect, remember, recount, respond—and a high view of the Word from Hebrews 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:16, while noting that all Scripture is true but not all equally applicable after the cross. For prayer he walks the "P's": persistent, passionate, real, grateful, and selfless, modeled by Jesus in Gethsemane and on the cross. It ends with a method: stop setting the agenda and let God set it through a passage—praying Colossians 3 line by line.
