Imitating Christ's own example, our lives should have an inside-out order, with devotion to Christ (solitude) flowing into devotion to community and devotion to the gospel (ministry).
The Holy Trinity, the imago dei, and our in-Christ life all provide the necessary foundations for a biblically based community, a community rooted in an understanding that every person's greatest need is to know God.
Ken Boa launches a new series on "Corporate Spirituality," focused on our growth in faith in the context of community. Our ability to love, serve others, and edify (and be edified in) the body of Christ must overflow from our own relationship with and security in Christ.
Psalm 16 is a psalm of aspiration toward a deepening devotion to and relationship with God. Its author, King David, is a great case study in the ideas discussed in this series.
Ken Boa leads a second session on the topic "God Is Our Highest Good" as part of his ongoing series on "Devotional Spirituality" (one facet from his book "Conformed to His Image").
Ken Boa wraps up discussion of the practice and purpose of sacred reading, discusses the need for a blend of contemplation and action, and finally moves into a new section of this series on the central role God must have in our hearts and lives.
