The Nine Practices (Sabbath, Solitude, Prayer, Fasting)

Sermon Podcast for Cornerstone Community Church in Galax, Virginia

Are you ready to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus and learn how to follow Him in your everyday life? Join us for a sermon series based on John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way. Together, we’ll explore how ancient spiritual practices—like Sabbath, prayer, and community—can transform us from the inside out. Each week, we’ll dive into practical ways to slow down, reconnect with God, and live out your faith with purpose. Whether you’re new to following Jesus or looking to go deeper, this series will offer a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be His disciple.
