Prayer is a place where heaven and earth can meet as we allow God's will to come on earth as it is in heaven. In this sermon Jon Sherwood works through Romans 12:1-8 and discusses the nature of offering our bodies as living sacrifices as well as understanding and utilizing our gifts in the body of Christ.

A continuation of our series; Practicing the Way. Utilizing John Mark Comer's platform ( PracticingTheWay.org ) we seek to become spiritual people, being transformed more into the likeness of Jesus. To this end we seek to utilize Spiritual Disciplines in our life and church community to help us. Continuing the practice of prayer, Jon Sherwood discusses various types of prayer including gratitude, lament, petition and intercession. As we continue to practice the spiritual discipline of prayer, we are reminded that the disciplines are not an end in and of themselves, but rather a vehicle for us to experience intimacy with God and personal transformation into the likeness of Jesus. #prayer   #prayerlife   #prayerfortoday   #spiritualdisciplines   #spiritualpractices   #spirituality   #spiritualgrowth   #microchurch

A cohort of church leaders from around the country join me in a conversation with Dr. Mark Baker, author of Centered-Set Church: Discipleship & Community Without Judgmentalism. Mark was a seminary professor for 25 years in California. Mark's book (inspired by Hiebert) has impacted me tremendously. After discussing this book together as a cohort of pastors for several months, we concluded by having Mark join us for our last discussion and for us to ask him questions as we wrestle with these concepts and how to implement them in our contexts.
