Pastor Caleb McMains · Sep 21, 2022
Pastor Caleb McMains addresses the gap between Jesus' promise of 'life and life to the full' (John 10:10) and the exhausting monotony many followers of Jesus actually experience. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 4, he argues that the abundant life Jesus offers is not automatic — it requires intentional, disciplined practice of the ways Jesus Himself modeled. Just as an athlete trains to compete, Christians must train themselves in practices such as prayer, Scripture, community, silence, fasting, and sabbath, trusting the Holy Spirit to do the transforming work as they play their small but vital part.
