“Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People” Sermon Series			Revd Philip Rowe
This the latest initiative in our ‘Going for Growth’ plans. The aim of Going for Growth is that we are ‘creating a community of wholeness, with Christ at the centre’.  At the core of achieving this goal is our own personal spiritual growth as disciples of Jesus Christ. We aim to do this by developing a ‘rule of life’ – spiritual disciplines or routines – to help us change from the inside out. I have found John Ortberg’s book ‘The Life You Always Wanted’ to be a very incisive, but accessible, book. It gave me strategies to grow spiritually. This sermon series is based around chapters from ‘The Life You Always Wanted’. Sermon notes are provided below. If you would like to talk over your ‘rule of life’ please contact me. I would be delighted to assist in any way I can.
‘It’s morphing time’ (Chapters 1 & 2) ‘Slowing down and celebrating’ (Chapters 3 & 4) ‘Meditating on Scripture and seeking guidance’ (Chapters 11 & 9) ‘Practicing servanthood, finding freedom’ (Chapters 7 & 10) ‘Going the distance with a well-ordered heart’ (Chapters 12 & 13)
