Levels are a continuation from the Children's ministry but with a new focus. The Levels allow us to dig deeper into our faith and challenge ourselves. There are so many simple creative ways to explore the spiritual disciplines. This is a great way to start learning to practice the spiritual disciplines and bringing God into your everyday life.

 

WHAT ARE THE SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES?

Anyone who is or has been involved in sports, music, drama, and other skill-related activities knows that it takes discipline. The athlete or musician knows it takes discipline to make progress in a chosen competition. Some have natural ability and strong passion for what they wish to succeed in, but all of us recognize the roll of discipline in practices and rehearsals in order to achieve a higher level of competence.

 

Most of us will also agree that relationships likewise require discipline and cultivation in order to mature into deep, meaningful, lasting connections. These images of sports, music, drama, and relationships are helpful in understanding the role of discipline as we learn and grow in our spiritual lives.

“Practicing” spiritual discipline is a good way to put it since we can expect to improve with practice, we can expect a level of comfort in time and with repeated use, and we can expect a degree of satisfaction and improved strength because of it. After developing routines, the disciplines may not seem so out of the ordinary, but we also know that we will never “arrive”. The practice of spiritual disciplines will always be a work in progress.
