Join Pastor Tara as she continues this six part series on the spiritual disciplines. This week she explores a biblical perspective on Silence
Scripture: Psalm 46:1-11
“But He who spoke peace to the billows of Galilee has spoken the word of peace for every soul. However fierce the tempest, those who turn to Jesus with the cry, “Lord, save us,” will find deliverance. His grace, that reconciles the soul to God, quiets the strife of human passion, and in His love the heart is at rest. “He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet…” The Desire of Ages, p. 336

Pastor Tara continues her series “Turning over a New Leaf” exploring the spiritual disciplines. This week’s sermon is a study on the biblical practice of fasting.
Scripture: Matthew 9:10-15
“Our growth in grace, our joy, our usefulness, all depend upon our union with Christ. It is by communion with Him, daily, hourly, by abiding in Him,that we are to grow in grace. He is not only the Author, but the Finisher of our faith. It is Christ first and last and always. He is to be with us, not only at the beginning and the end of our course, but at every step of the way. David says, “I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” Psalm 16:8." Steps to Christ, p. 69

Join Pastor Tara as she begins a new series “Turning over a New Leaf” focused exploring the spiritual disciplines that create the foundation for a healthy spiritual life. This first message in the series is on prayer.
Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7
“Consecrate yourself to God in the morning; make this your very first work. Let your prayer be, “Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me, and let all my work be wrought in Thee.” This is a daily matter. Each morning consecrate yourself to God for that day. Surrender all your plans to Him, to be carried out or given up as His providence shall indicate. Thus day by day you may be giving your life into the hands of God, and thus your life will be molded more and more after the life of Christ." Steps to Christ, p. 70
