From Series: "The Life God Has Always Wanted For You"

The life God desires for you isn’t about performing for him — it’s about celebrating life with him. It isn’t earned through effort, or reserved for the ultra-righteous. It’s a life shaped by joy, peace, purpose, and transformation — and it begins with grace.

Spiritual habits like prayer, reading scripture, solitude, and fasting aren’t religious checkboxes. Those disciplines are invitations. Gifts. Graces. They’re how we train our hearts to hear God’s voice, know his love, and live in his freedom. This life with God is about becoming who you were always meant to be and rejoicing along the way. Join us to discover how these practices can become pathways, not pressure, to the life God always intended for you.

Notes

In our new sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how Jesus isn’t offering a weekly visit; He’s offering a permanent home, including:
1. Jesus Came to Give You Abundant Life,
2. Spiritual Disciplines Are invitations, Not Requirements, and
3. Abiding Means Making Your Home in Jesus.
Spiritual disciplines are not about proving something to God. They are about exploring what it means to live with Him. The scripture text is John 10:10; 14:1-6; 15:1-11. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, June 8, 2025.

Scripture References: John 10:10, John 14:1-6, John 15:1-11
