Our Current Sermon Series

There is something transformative in seeking God's heart individually and collectively as we pursue spiritual breakthrough and purpose.

In the month of January, we will both study and practice fasting and praying together, as a church family.  

FOUR WAYS YOU CAN PARTICIPATE

Community Connection 
    We’ve created a quiet place for prayer and reflection throughout the day (M-F) in the Connection Center. Bring a friend or family member to pray with you.

The Prayer Wall
    Write and share your prayer request on a prayer tag and place it on the prayer wall.  Pray for someone else’s request.

INFORMATION ON FASTING

Each of us should seek God’s leading and direction as we consider what we might abstain from in order to create space and focus more of our attention on Him. This could include:

  • Reducing or eliminating something from your diet on a daily basis 
    • Skipping a meal
    • Avoiding caffeine or sugar
    • Eating only vegetables or fruit
  • Reducing or eliminating the use of certain forms of technology 
    • Not turning on the radio during your commute
    • Not watching TV after dinner
    • Pausing your involvement on social media
  • Abstaining from a specific activity or behavior 
    • Not snacking between meals
    • Not using elevators in buildings
    • Ceasing the use of tobacco or alcohol

Fasting is a spiritual practice that has been used through the ages to help center our attention and direct our affection toward God alone. We desire to hear from God and respond in obedience as He leads us forward into a new year.
