The New Year is the perfect time to evaluate what you want to change in your spiritual life in 2023 and provides a fresh start for new habits and spiritual disciplines. On Sunday, January 1st we begin our church wide Spiritual Emphasis with a focus on the book of Matthew.


A prayer less life is a powerless life. The opposite is also true: a prayerful life is a powerful life. Fasting abstains from something to focus on God. Through fasting you draw closer to God, pray with greater effect, hear His voice more clearly, and experience breakthrough. This year, let's begin with a renewed commitment to prayer and fasting to focus on God and what He is calling us to.

prayer

God desires to move in power and the best way we can see God move and be alive and active is in our time with prayer. Prayer takes the attention off of everything including ourselves and puts the attention completely on Him. Prayer will make us aware of God's activity in our life and those around us. 

  • Wednesday Night Prayer, 7PM in the Main Auditorium
  • Set a personal daily prayer goal: morning, afternoon, or evening

Fasting

Fasting abstains from something to focus on God. Through fasting you draw closer to God, pray with greater effect, hear His voice more clearly, and experience breakthrough. We fast because sometimes our capacity to hear God gets cluttered and we want to remove all the debris that could keep us from hearing and seeing clearly. Fasting hits our spiritual reset button.


Ways to Fast: 

  • Fast 1, 2, or 3 meals a day
  • 21-Day Daniel Fast
  • Water only fast
  • Intermittent Fasting
  • fast media (tv, movies, social media)


Bible engagement

Encounter Jesus, grow spiritually, and experience real transformation by meeting Jesus in the pages of Scripture. Research shows that engaging with God's Word at least 4 times a week has a dramatic impact on everyday life. You are more likely to reflect the fruit of the Spirit, share your faith with others, and volunteer in church. Each time you approach God's Word, remember that it is powerful and living. The Bible can transform lives, comfort, admonish, and guide in any situation (Hebrews 4:12). We pray the Holy Spirit ignites a fresh passion for God's Word in your life.
