Sermon Recaps
3/30: Creatures of Habit
Pastor Kanon gave us an insightful sermon on the importance of fasting in our Christian walk. He explored how fasting is not just about giving up food, but a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God. The sermon emphasized that fasting is a way to express our desperate need for God and combat the lie that there's never enough in our lives. It's a practice that Jesus himself engaged in and expects his followers to do as well.
Takeaways:
As we go forward, we encourage you to prayerfully consider how you might incorporate fasting into your spiritual practice. Remember, fasting doesn't have to be just about food - it can be abstaining from anything that takes your focus away from God. As Pastor Kanon asked, "What can you go without - to gain more of Christ?"
May we all grow in our desperation for God and experience His presence in new and profound ways!
Takeaways:
- Fasting is not for show, but for spiritual growth. It should be done discreetly and humbly, focusing on our relationship with God rather than impressing others.
- True fasting produces fruit like humility, generosity, and a desire to serve others. It's not just about what we give up, but how it transforms us.
- Fasting helps us fight against the lie of scarcity and reminds us of God's abundance. It's a physical expression of our trust in God's provision.
