Establish Devotional Times to Abide in Christ

 

When your computer isn’t computing smoothly, or when your smart TV isn’t acting very smart, the first thing you often try is pressing the “reboot” button. You power the device down and restart it. More often than not, that simple step fixes the problem. Rebooting clears temporary data, closes stuck processes, and resets the system so it can function as it was designed to.

​

More than any other time of the year, the beginning of a new year reminds us of our own need to press the “reboot” button in life.

 

This three-week course, Establish Devotional Times to Abide in Christ, is an invitation to begin a personal journey of spiritual renewal by intentionally reconnecting with Jesus. Together, we will explore how establishing regular devotional rhythms helps us abide in Christ and experience the life He desires for us. The benefits we will explore are rooted directly in Scripture:

 

• A deeper, more meaningful fellowship with the Lord
  “God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9)

• A life that does not wither away
  “If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers….” (John 15:5–6)

• Victory over temptation and sin
  “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16)

• Growth in godly character
  “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation….” (1 Peter 2:1–3)

• Wisdom that leads to a fruitful and successful life
  “Wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you….” (Proverbs 2:10–12)

 

This course is a practical and spiritual starting point for anyone longing for renewal, direction, and a closer walk with Christ.
