The Habit of Scripture

Life on the West Side

What we do is what we become. Christians replace cultural habits we've imbibed with spiritual habits we intentionally embrace. What if we thought of our spiritual community as a spiritual habit?

The sermon today is titled "The Habit of Scripture." It is the tenth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the second in the sub-series "Spiritual Habits." The Scripture reading is from Psalm 19 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on April 6, 2025. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Spiritual Disciplines.
