Discipline. Most people think of that word in a negative sense. To be disciplined means to be punished. Or "to be disciplined" could be something positive. For example, some people are self disciplined to exercise every day. Others are disciplined to eat healthy. These choices, when made consistently, yield positive results. In the same way, there are some spiritual disciplines that we can exercise to have positive results in our relationship with Jesus. That's what we'll unpack in this session as we draw (in part) from Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount.

Your faith in God matters to him. In fact, God is most honored through your living, active, death-defying, out-of-the-box faith.That being the case, he's committed to growing it. BIG. Imagine how different your outlook on life would be if you had absolute confidence that God was with you? Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. In other words, imagine what it would be like to have explicit faith.
