    This sermon focuses on the teachings of Jesus as outlined in Matthew 6, providing guidance for the New Year.

    Today, I want to talk about a section of the Beatitudes found in Matthew 6. This portion of scripture is not more important than the rest of the Beatitudes, but I believe that the Spirit of God is leading me to discuss it as a foundation for the rest of 2014. Matthew 6:1-4 says, "Be careful not to ...read more

    The Right Way To Fast Series

     | 2,600 views

    This message looks at what Jesus has to say about our physical appearance when fasting. The way we present ourselves physically can speak volumes about the inner man. Who are we trying to impress when we fast? Jesus or the people around us?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Right Way to Fast.” Jesus both practiced fasting and taught about it; and yet, fasting is something that is often feared and misunderstood. In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more

    Christian fasting is a non-required discipline. It alters your diet, eliminates food and/or drink, for a biblical purpose, and accompanied with prayer.

    A. CHRISTIAN FASTING IS A NON-REQUIRED DISCIPLINE Jesus said, “When you fast” (Matthew 6:16). Did Jesus mean you must fast, or did He give you an option? “If you fast?” Christian fasting is described: 1. Alters your diet, or 2. Eliminates food and/or drink 3. For a biblical ...read more
