In this powerful sermon, Pastor Brent talks about the transformative power of spiritual discipline. We need to trade screen time for soul time, investing in prayer, and diving deep into the Bible. As we realign our focus, we discover how to build up our church and fervently pray for the salvation of our neighbors. Spiritual growth means setting goals, shedding the past, and confronting sins that hold us back.
