Making Room
The discipline of fasting is not one that has been widely practiced in evangelical circles but is having a bit of a “renewal” in our generation. More and more we hear people and ministries calling us to times of prayer and fasting. What is this practice all about? Why was it so important to the Jewish community and what can we learn from this discipline? In our text this weekend, Jesus simply assumes that we are a people who fast, and challenges us once again to fast for the right reasons and in the right way. Key Passages: Matthew 6:16-18 and Isaiah 58:6

A Fast Pleasing to the Lord
A fast that is pleasing to the Lord is not what most people think that it is. It is not just denying yourself food and/or drink, pleasure or comforts in an attempt to get prayers answered or so that God might notice us and take pity on us. The kind of fast that pleases God is an active fast, not a passive one, where I take those things that I have gone without and give them to those that need them. By fasting this way, not only does God say in Isaiah that this is what he desires but we also find that as Jesus said, "when I was hungry you fed me, when I was naked you clothed me, when I was thirsty you gave me drink...so in actively fasting this way we are not just doing these things for Him but to Him.He will then give us a new name, "the restorer of broke walls".

Running Fast but not Connected to the Father's Heart
Whether we realize it or not, we're in a battle, a spiritual battle and out of that conflict we run with a message. What is the message? Are we "running" with the correct one? All of our lives are on display, like an open book, communicating some "message". In our world and in the time we live it is absolutely crucial that as we run, we run with the message that is on the Father's heart. In today's sermon we will see how well meaning, energetic Christ followers can get out of stride and get disconnected from the Father. Pastor Mel
