Diagnosing Your Spiritual Health

We spend time diagnosing and improving our physical health. How do we know whether we are spiritually healthy? What can we do about it? Do you thirst for God? Are you growing in obedience to God's Word? Are you more loving and forgiving? Do you have a growing concern for the spiritual condition of others? Are you growing in generosity in your serving and giving? Are you learning to be content in every circumstance?

Do You Thirst for God?

April 27, 2014 | Psalm 63 | discipleship

How are you doing spiritually? Do you know God personally? Have you received the forgiveness of your sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross? Are you growing in your relationship with God through His Son? Are you growing in your thirst for the very presence of Christ in your life? In this opening sermon in our “Diagnosing Your Spiritual Health” series, Pastor Gary helps us diagnose our desire for spiritual satisfaction.
