Pastor, are your congregation members struggling with consistency in their spiritual walk? If you’re looking for a sermon series on spiritual disciplines that will equip your church for real growth, I’ve created a 5-week, done-for-you sermon series designed to help your people go beyond Sunday faith and develop lasting spiritual habits.

Nothing is more legendary than wishing to grow, but failing to do so. New Chrisitans start strong, but without intentional disciplines, their faith can feel shallow, inconsistent, or even stagnant. That's because we have to train people to go beyond wishing, and into:

Deciding to grow
Building spiritual disciplines to grow

That’s why spiritual disciplines matter. They are the habits of a mature disciple, the daily rhythms that root believers deeper in Christ and produce long-term transformation.

A new sermon series: Rooted – Spiritual Disciplines for a Fruitful Life

This 5-part sermon series is designed to help believers develop deep spiritual roots so they can grow strong in Christ and produce the fruit of the Spirit.

Each week focuses on a core spiritual discipline, providing practical teaching, biblical application, and real-life transformation.

Why Preach a Sermon Series on Spiritual Disciplines?

In today’s world, distraction, busyness, and entertainment steal people’s attention from God. Without intentional habits of grace, believers will struggle to stay rooted in their faith.

Spiritual disciplines are not legalism—they are life-giving habits.
They keep believers anchored when trials come.
They create consistency in faith and action.

A sermon series on spiritual disciplines is essential because discipleship doesn’t happen by accident. If we want to see real transformation, we must teach our people to develop daily rhythms that deepen their walk with God.

Show me your habits with God, and I will predict your closeness to him in 20 years!
