Becoming a Community of Disciples

Sabbath to pray and play. Jesus regularly practiced sabbath, as did the disciples and apostles in the book of Acts. There is much wisdom in guarding one day a week for rest. Perhaps keeping a sabbath day is a spiritual discipline you want to explore as part of your weekly rhythm? Perhaps there are other disciplines you want to explore as part of your normal weekly schedule? For example, some may choose a day or a meal each week to try the discipline of fasting. Use the chart below to plan your “ideal week” for practicing your spiritual disciplines. Review the spiritual disciplines in Table 2 for ideas.
