Essentials
How’s your foundation?
Do you want the peace and presence of God in your everyday life, but you can’t figure out how? For six weeks, learn about building blocks for our faith. These essential practices are meant to be put into action and help you grow your relationship with God. Strong foundations are built doing the simple things, like praying, reading the Bible, worshiping, and giving.
Introduction
Welcome to Essentials! Week One is all about the small, practical steps that we can take daily to build a strong foundation of faith, such as spending time in God’s word. Get your notebook ready as Pastor Holly Furtick leads us through the next five weeks.
Praying
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools that God has given us as His children. He wants to have a true relationship with you. Week Two will help us create intentional space to speak with Him at any time, about anything.
Worshiping
Worship is a gift from God and is so much more than the songs we sing in church — it’s a way of life and a posture of our hearts. Week Three will cover the importance of making praise a priority, because when we do, God can reframe our focus, even in the middle of difficult seasons.
Hearing
When’s the last time you heard from God? He desires to communicate with you to encourage and guide you. Week Four will teach us how to hear God’s voice and trust the Holy Spirit’s instructions.
Giving
God calls us to live generously and that begins with trusting Him in the area of our finances. Week Five will help us understand that giving is not about what God wants from us — it’s about what He wants for us.
Conclusion
During Week Six, we’ll take a moment to reflect on all God has done during our time together and discuss how to share what we’ve learned with others.
