Sacred Habits: Sacred Fellowship What does it mean to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Book of Psalms 34:8)? If we truly experience the goodness of God, our lives should carry the aroma of Christ everywhere we go (Second Epistle to the Corinthians 2:15). In this message, we confront the root of so much conflict and division: selfish ambition. The book of Epistle of James exposes the battle within us: • I want what I want. • I think I deserve it. • I will do whatever it takes to get it. But Jesus calls His church to something radically different. Through key passages like Epistle to the Philippians 2:3–4, Epistle to the Ephesians 4:15, and Epistle to the Hebrews 10:24–25, we explore four biblical Heart Attitudes that shape authentic Christian community: I am willing to put the goals and interests of others above my own. I am willing to live an honest, open life before others. I am willing to give and receive Scriptural correction. I am willing to clear up relationships. Rooted in grace, truth, mercy, for
