    Living In The Kingdom 15 Series

     | 2,198 views

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.

    Living in the Kingdom 15 Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18; 17:14-21; Isaiah 58:2-6; Psalms 35:13 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and riches in His Sermon on the Mount. We will look at verses sixteen through ...read more

    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

    The Discipline Of Secrecy Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,048 views

    The focus of this sermon is on how Jesus addresses some of the well known spiritual disciplines (e.g., giving, prayer, fasting) along with the right and wrong way to practice them.

    If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to follow along, we are going to be looking at the sixth chapter of the book of Matthew starting at verse 1 and going down to verse 18. Matthew 6:1-18. While you are looking for that, I just have a question. I am sure I have asked you before ...read more

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,623 views

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more

    In this sixth beatitude, we must understand the standard Jesus is setting with the with the phrase "pure in heart.". If we set the standard too low, we fail to enter into the fullness of the blessing. If we set it too high we forsake the pursuit as futile.

    Intro We are studying the Beatitudes with an interest in how to position ourselves for revival. What attitudes of heart are conducive to experiencing more of God’s grace and participating in what he is doing. The Beatitudes provide insight for participating in the kingdom of God because this is the ...read more

    This morning we are to talk about the practice of biblical fasting… Not fasting to lose weight or to detox your body – but fasting, going without food for a period of time for a specific spiritual purpose…

    The Practice Of Fasting Matthew 6:16-18 Dismiss Grove KIDZ OKAY – I want to start our time this morning by reading just a few verses that Jesus (God the Son) spoke on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee 2000 years ago.

    Jesus says, Be not like the hypocrites.

    ON FASTING and HEART TREASURE. Matthew 6:16-24. MATTHEW 6:16-18. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray. So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner. The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men. ...read more

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,483 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

    Humble Thyself Sermon: Feb. 9, 2019 (4th of 11th month) Luke 18:9-14 Two men in the temple. Matt.25:32-46 The response of the saints is "WHEN did we do these things", rather than "YES, I sure did!" They could have said, yes we did these things in order to give glory to GOD, ...read more

    Most people attempt to give something up for Lent. But is what we give up for Lent beneficial to us or to God?

    This past Wednesday, the collective whole of the Christendom observed Ash Wednesday. A day in the church year when we are reminded of our mortality, but more importantly, reminded of our reliance on God, both for life in this world and for life in the next. This day is the mark of the beginning of ...read more

    Generally speaking, Fasting is about going without food in order to spend time in prayer with God and meditate on God’s Word – this is noble but difficult.

    In This Manner Pray

    Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 27, 2020

    How we pray depends on our concept of God. God is personal, and knows us better than we know ourselves. Prayer brings us into harmony with God.

    INTRODUCTION When I was in college, I was required to take speech class. As a shy person, I dreaded it. It’s all about public speaking. Some would rather die than speak in public. To pass the class, we had to give a 5-minute speech to our classmates. Here are some pointers for giving a ...read more
