CONTEMPLATIVE || SLOW DOWN SPIRITUALITY ••

One of our cultural values at Antioch Dallas is to be contemplative - to practice a slow down spirituality which allows us to form deep roots in our faith through timeless practices like prayer, fasting, giving, serving, sabbath, and confession.

I’m Scripture, over and over again, God chose to speak to His people in the quiet, stillness of the wilderness. Oftentimes, our busy, hectic days drown out the voice of God. He gently invites us into stillness where in the quiet, slowed down spaces, He speaks.

Last Sunday, Pastor Zach encouraged us to make space in our lives to get still so that we can get clear on what God is speaking to us this year. 2022 is the perfect opportunity to start practicing this slow down spirituality by reorganizing your life to make room for you to encounter Jesus on deeper levels and gain clarity on what He is speaking to you this year.

Join us this Sunday as we continue to learn ways we can prepare for our upcoming 21 days of prayer and fasting that we will kick off in the 16th. We can’t wait to see what God does in and through us during this special time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS church! ❤️🎄🔔

Our hearts are full today as we reflect on the majesty of Jesus - His miraculous birth brought light into a dark world, redeeming us back to Him. Today marks the day that “The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” (John 1:9)

We wish you and your family the warmest and most wonderful Christmas together. Can’t wait to see you again when we gather together in 2022!!

This past Sunday, we celebrated the love of God with not just the love advent candle, but with baptisms and communion!! We celebrated with 3 of our family members as they made a public declaration of their faith in Jesus. They left their old self and sin behind in the water as they were risen to new life in Christ. It was a powerful reminder of the beauty of the gospel and the full life God has for us as adopted sons and daughters.

What better way to celebrate God’s redeeming love for us? And of course, with donuts too 😋

Join us next Sunday as we continue to celebrate this season with JOY - a “For The City” celebration!!!
