This week we wrapped up our little mini-series called “All In The Mindset.” The goal of this series was to get us started going down the road of thinking on “Above Things” instead of on “Earthly Things.” One of the ways we do that is through what are commonly known as spiritual disciplines. In this week’s message, we talked about the last three of the disciplines that we had time to cover – stewardship, discipleship/evangelism & community.We also talked about how holiness is more about what we pursue than what we avoid, sharing an article from David’s Blog. Why so many Christians fail is that they are trying harder to avoid sin than they are trying to pursue Christ. So, we spent some time talking about the distinction.

Pursuit vs. AvoidanceHolinessHoliness is about what we pursue, not what we avoid.These practices are part of the process through which we become holy.Acts 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.StewardshipAll the believers were together and had everything in common.
