Spiritual formation is the process of God conforming me to the image of Christ. The Journey begins with a turn: repent.

During the process of repentance and especially during Lent we are encouraged to fast, which is the voluntary denial of something you crave for the purpose of intense spiritual focus. http://www.thegroveaz.org/sermons/invitation-to-journey-with-christ http://07f1ad101a822d435d88-d47c4073c158ddd40f7c53d286abe496.r54.cf2.rackcdn.com/uploaded/0/0e606673_021713sermon.mp3 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:17:31 GMT Palmer Chinchen Invitation to Journey with Christ The Missional church is committed to helping Christ-followers rediscover and live out their sentness.
