spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 60

Day 60 - January 1st

GUIDANCE:

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 59

Day 59 - December 31st

PHYSICAL

Exercise with friends - Go for a run/ bike ride, play football, squash. Whatever you and your friends are into, get the sweat glands working and the heart rate pumping. Work your body, and then feel the benefits!

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 58

Day 58 - December 30th

STUDY

Get a crowd together and read the scripture out loud. Not just the usual 6 or 7 verses, but really read it. You could take it in turns to read several chapters each and pass on the reading when you feel tired of reading out. The public and shared reading of scripture has somewhat been lost in our time. Let us share the word of life (you may want to go outside somewhere to do this or perhaps round a friend's house).

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 57

Day 57 - December 29th

FASTING

Corporate fasting. Get others to fast all on the same day. In the evening you may choose to get together to pray.

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 56

Day 56 - December 28th

DO IT TOGETHER

Many spiritual fitness disciplines require others to do it with. Having spent more time solo last week, this week there will be some ideas on ways to exercise your spiritual fitness with those close to you.

SERVICE

There is the service in hospitality. Pick a night this week or whenever you have free time and invite some mates around. You may choose to cook a meal but the most important thing about this is that you are being HOSPITABLE. Take the example of Mary and Martha with Jesus in Luke 10: 38-42. Martha made the kind act of inviting Jesus in to their house, but then got so caught up in making things right in the kitchen, that she did not play host to Jesus. Mary on the other hand, sat by His feet, listening to His words.

Invite people round, and let them be the true focus.

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 55

Day 55 - December 27th

STUDY

Reread a particular scripture several times a day as a way to keep thinking about it.

Spiritual Fitness Challenge DAY 54

DAY 54 - December 26th

SERVICE

There is a service in sharing the word of life. You could do this by spoken word, you could send a text with an encouraging verse. Whatever you do, just think who would really value the encouragement from the bible today.
