Going Deeper #6 – Celebrate God’s Goodness
Maurits Stevens, May 21, 2017
Celebration is at the heart of the practice of all the Spiritual disciplines. Without joy and celebration it will become a dead and dry thing to do. Joy creates energy. Joy makes us strong.

We look at it from the perspective of two different types of persons - the first is ‘the religious and manipulative person’ and the other is ‘the spiritual and worshipping person’. How do you experience the presence of God in your everyday life? What challenges do you face? How can you encourage a fellow follower of Jesus in this? How can the Spiritual Disciplines help you in your everyday life with God?
