7: What's Next

This week's message from Pastor Jim Burgen is the culmination of our 35 Day Challenge. In the previous six weeks, we have pushed ourselves to engage each day in 15 minutes of exercise, read one chapter of the Bible, intentionally pray, serve someone else and sacrifice a thing of value to us. For those of us who completed the 35 day challenge - well done! You spent 35 days faithfully and obediently running after God. For those of us who haven't completed it, let's think about why. Did we get frustrated with a lack of success? Or forgetful under the weight of all else that vies for our attention? Or did we just not see the benefit? Whatever the reason, the reality is that as Christians - followers of Christ - our lives are meant to be built on three spiritual ventures: knowing God's word and applying it, adjusting our priorities to align with His values, and serving others. The 35 Day Challenge was designed to help us remember the daily pace and routine our spiritual lives need to be fully alive.
