Self-Examination: Being Honest with God and Ourselves

October 18, 2020

  • Wilfred Graves
  • Spiritual Disciplines
  • confession
  • repentance
  • self-examination
  • spiritual disciplines
  • spiritual formation
  • spiritual growth

Self-examination is the study of one’s own behaviors and motivations. Regular and intentional self-examination is an important aspect of the healthy Christian life. The spiritual discipline was modeled by King David (e.g., see Psalm 139: 23-24). The Apostle Paul on several occasions also encouraged Christians to examine ourselves (e.g., see 1 Corinthians 11:28; 2 Corinthians 13:5). Through the process of self-examination, the Holy Spirit enables us to honestly review our motives, thinking patterns, beliefs, behaviors, etc. to see whether they line up with the Word of God. In this video, we will explore this powerful discipline a bit further.

Let Go and Let God: The Spiritual Discipline of Surrender

June 25, 2020

  • Wilfred Graves
  • Spiritual Disciplines
  • faith
  • self-denial

To surrender is to give up control. When we surrender to God, we abandon ourselves to his loving control over all things. To surrender to God is to recognize that we belong to him. It is to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives. It is to say “Yes!” to him. Surrender is the only path to spiritual victory and fulfillment in life.
