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

Swelled Egos and Shriveled Souls
One of the greatest preachers of the 20th century was a man by the name of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. He has written volumes on the Sermon on the Mount and he said that the 6th chapter of Matthew is both a very searching and painful section of Scripture. “I think,” said Jones, “that this chapter is one of the most uncomfortable chapters to read in the entire Scriptures.” Why is this so? What is it about these few verses that are so challenging for us today? The answer to this lies in the fact that these verses have the potential to open up our heart and reveal to us our true inner motivations. It holds a mirror up before us and it will not allow us to escape. Key Passage: Matthew 6:1-18

Hungering for Him
As you begin to study the Word of God to learn and grow, you come to realize that there are plenty of terms in the Bible which our modern English words simply fall short in doing justice to the meaning, or it has morphed into something which has a very different meaning than it did in Scripture. One of the words that I've come to appreciate in a far deeper way than ever before is the word "heart" in the Bible.

The Lost Practice of Fasting
The Church has forgotten the fasting is a means of grace, meant to be a regular part of our spiritual life. Fasting is voluntarily abstaining from something (lawful) for spiritual reasons. We are not earning grace, but expressing our need for grace, and more of Jesus Himself in the gospel.
