Life-Giving Lifestyle
The people we are becoming
The Life-Giving Lifestyle is about people: “Real people connecting with our real God in a real way.” Real people connecting with our God in a way that will ultimately result in life swelling up inside their hearts to the point where they can't help but give it away.
The Life-giving Lifestyle starts with a choice; a choice to intentionally and consciously pursue a relationship with God. This choice becomes increasingly important to us as we surrender to the reality of our own brokenness and utter dependency on Him for life. As we come to terms with our desperate need and learn to turn over control of our lives into His capable hands we will begin to see the world from His perspective, enjoy the power of walking in step with the Holy Spirit and discover the joy of living for what matters most.
In the meantime we realize that discovering life in Jesus is all about practice. It's a day by day, moment by moment choice put off the old and walk in the new. Realizing that this ongoing choice is extremely difficult to make on our own, we meet weekly in Life-groups to support one another in living out the life-giving lifestyle. In these meetings we share real life our stories of victory and struggle and participate in the four life-giving practices together.
Life-giving Prayer –
Prayer is about doing something with God, not getting something from Him
Life-giving Truth –
Allowing the truth about who God is, what He's doing and who we are in Him change us from the inside out
Life-giving Relationships –
Being real with one another about what's going on in our hearts so that we can lift one another up in healing prayer (James 5:16)
Developing a pray and watch lifestyle that swells into Kingdom perspective and keeps our hearts in touch with what matters most
