We launched our brand new Household Habits message series at Aldersgate Church! Catch all of the messages online, on YouTube, or Facebook.
We are going to have so much fun with this series as we learn how our households can discover extraordinary spiritual moments in the ordinary routines of life – the waking, sleeping, driving, eating, learning, and working habits of life. And if you missed it, a household is soooooo much more than a nuclear family!
To complement us on the journey there are a few things I recommend:
1. Read Deuteronomy
Grab your Bible or your favorite Bible app and read through the book of Deuteronomy. If you read one chapter a day you will finish the entire book as we finish this sermon series.
In Deuteronomy, we find God’s people just days away from crossing into the Promised Land after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Their leader, Moses, gives one last review of everything God has said and done for them and reminds them not to lose sight of it in the everyday rhythms of life.
2. Check out Bible Project
Bible Project creates free resources to help you better understand the Bible. There is a great overview of the book of Deuteronomy I encourage you to check out as you start to read the book. It will help you get a better understanding of exactly what is happening in Deuteronomy.
Get started today at bibleproject.com or by downloading the BibleProject app!
3. Discover Right Now Media
Aldersgate Church offers you the free gift of Right Now Media – the world’s largest streaming library of Bible study resources (it’s been called the “Netflix of video Bible studies”). You can find it at rightnowmedia.org or by downloading the RightNow Media app!
Among the more than 20,000 videos you will find on Right Now Media, there is a great study by David Bowden titled Jesus in All of Deuteronomy. I encourage you to walk through this study as part of this message series.
To get started with Right Now Media, simply click this link, create your free account, and start browsing! You can find the Jesus in All of Deuteronomy study in Aldersgate Church’s custom channel.
4. Grab a Copy of Habits of the Household
Habits of the Household is a great read from Justin Whitmel Earley – especially for parents! Discover how to practice the story of God in everyday family rhythms – waking, mealtimes, discipline, screentime, family devotions, marriage, work, play, conversation, and bedtime. I am using it as a resource for this message series and I highly recommend it!
5. Join Us on Wednesday Nights
Gather with us beginning THIS WEDNESDAY (April 10th) at 6:00 PM. Each Wednesday evening we will take an everyday habit and discover how to find spiritual significance in what otherwise can seem rote and mundane.
April 10 – Waketime/Bedtime
April 17 – Mealtime
April 24 – Screentime
May 1 – Moneytime
May 5 – Playtime
We will meet in the FUSION Building each Wednesday night, gather around tables, share a meal with one another, worship, and discover together through shared life experience how to create household habits where we encounter spiritual significance.
We are going to keep it simple and have pizza every Wednesday! How easy is that for you and your household! Dinner is taken care of every Wednesday for the next five weeks! I encourage you to chip in a few bucks each week to help cover the costs for you and your household.
On the journey with you,
Ryan
