A Devotion from Jay McKenney
SPIRITUAL TRAINING – STUDY
My brother in law and I just registered for the Hood to Coast for next year. I prefer to call it Hood to toast. We named our team “Wii not so fit”, because we both have always loved video games but they don’t lend to getting fit. For us to get ready to handle this, we have to think way, way ahead about how we are eating, and how we are exercising.
This coming week at Sunset we are in our 3rd week of The Life Marathon series. Each week we are doing a different spiritual training emphasis. The emphasis this week is study; Ron’s message is called “Doing More Than Coping with Circumstances”.
Are you just coping right now? Or are you thriving, growing, and in a dynamic relationship with Christ? Chances are if you are not studying, you are just coping. What I mean by studying is hearing from God through His Word to you. When life throws unique situations at you, when relationships challenge you to your core, when you wrestle with your own heart’s desires, motives and intentions, your time in the Word plays a huge role in how you react and respond. God talks to us in real time, through the pages of the Bible. What a gift! And what a reason to embrace study, it’s training we have to have for life so we can do more than just cope. Do yourself a favor today, open up the Word of God.

All To Jesus - Praise Night is Thanksgiving Eve!
