THE WALK: Lenten Sermon Series & Bible Study

How do we walk with Christ — follow Him daily, grow in Him, and faithfully serve Him?

In the Gospels, Jesus modeled for us the Christian spiritual life. The apostles taught it in their writings, and through the last 2,000 years, the Church has sought to pursue this Christian spiritual life.

In The Walk, Adam Hamilton focuses on five essential spiritual practices that are rooted in Jesus’ own walk with God and taught throughout the New Testament: worship, study, serving, giving, and bearing witness to our faith. Each of these is intended as part of our daily walk with Christ while also being an essential part of growing together in the church.

Together during Lent, we will explore these spiritual practices, their New Testament foundation, and what it looks like to pursue these practices daily both in our personal life and together in the life of the church.

Are you ready to deepen your walk with Christ?
