And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

TONIGHT
Peachtree Church is excited to welcome John Mark Comer as a Pentz Series Speaker. To enrich our Overflow initiative, Peachtree will gift the congregation with Comer’s newest book Practicing the Way. The book focuses on how the first followers of Jesus developed a Rule of Life, or habits and practices based on the life of Jesus himself. As they learned to live like their teacher, they became people who made space for God to do his most transformative work in their lives.

OVERFLOW PR ACTICES
In 2022, our church read through the Bible together during Quest. In 2023, we spent the year diving deep into the books of Matthew and Romans. In 2024, we will strive to become more like Jesus by rediscovering the ancient practices of prayer, study, sabbath, celebration, and many more. Our knowledge of scripture, coupled with studying how Jesus lived his life while on earth, will help us become people who Overflow with the goodness of God.

A LIFE WITH JESUS
In his life and ministry, Jesus walked alongside others. We grow best as individuals when we allow ourselves to be part of a trusted community. We encourage you to find your place within an Overflow Group, where you will meet to explore what it means to follow the way of Jesus through spiritual practices.
Group gatherings will take place either monthly or more. Most groups will meet for an hour to 90 minutes.
Groups are more than welcome to have meals during their gatherings.
During the gathering, you will watch a 2-3 minute welcome video from Pastor Rich, watch a 10-15 minute teaching video from a staff member or pastor, and spend time together exploring the spiritual practice for the given month.
