Setting the Standard: Fasting
Just like giving and praying, Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 6 that fasting should be a regular part of the Christian experience. Fasting should be a regular occurrence in the life of a believer.
Setting the Standard: Praying
Prayer isn’t some religious experience that we do from rote memory, but is a dynamic conversation with the Almighty Creator of the entire universe. Let’s run to him in prayer today!
Setting the Standard: Giving
The financial need is great in the world right now and there’s only so much we can do. But I want us to fight against the lie that because we can’t do everything we shouldn’t do anything.
Setting the Standard for 2021
Let’s examine our lives, our decision-making processes, and choose the standard we will set for 2021 and beyond.
Presumptuous Church: Romans 11
Being right is overrated.
Enjoying an adventure with God is how we were created to live.
Presumptuous Church: Nehemiah 9
I can be presumptuous in what I create, what I write, and what I do. I can live a life of assumption instead of surrender to God.
Self-Reliant Church: Mark 2
I believe the Sabbath is a sweet invitation to take a breath. To stop. To enjoy God. And to trust him.
Self-Reliant Church: Ezekiel 20
God has given us the gift of the Sabbath, let’s stop rejecting it.
Greedy Church: Luke 19
Grace will always require more of us than the Law.
Greedy Church: James 5
Let’s actively fight against the greed that can so easily take up residence in our hearts and minds!
