Since the publication of Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations, these
five practices have helped hundreds of congregations understand their
mission, renew ministries, and stretch toward fruitfulness and
excellence for the purpose of Christ. Now, each of the five practices
has been broken out into 4-week small group studies called The Fruitful Living Series that provide an
honest, practical, and winsome guide to the spiritual journey.
In Loving God in Return: The Practice of Passionate Worship we respond
with love to. We practice listening to God, allowing God to shape our
hearts and minds through prayer, personal devotion, and community
worship. We love God.
