March 25, 2021  

Over the last five weeks, we have studied five essential practices of the Christian life - worship, study, serving, giving, and sharing. And the goal of this series has been to close the gap between the Christians we are and the Christians God wants us to become by focusing on these spiritual practices. That all sounds good, but why are these practices so significant? Are they necessary?

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Eric wraps up the sermon series, The Walk: Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life, with the message "The Five Practices from the Cross."
