Communion with God: Fasting (Part 1)

May 26, 2013 | Series: Communion with God. Scripture: Luke. Speakers: Pastor Mitch Freeman.

Luke 5:33-39
People fast for many different reasons, such as health, dieting, or religion. Why do Christians fast? That’s a question that was posed to Jesus when some people asked, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” His answer gets to the biblical purpose for fasting. In this sermon, we try to understand what Jesus says about fasting and the role it serves in our communion with God.

Communion with God: Prayer

May 12, 2013 | Series: Communion with God. Scripture: Matthew. Speakers: Pastor Mitch Freeman.

Matthew 6:5-8
Too often, we struggle with prayer because we misunderstand the nature of prayer. Prayer isn’t a duty to be performed. Instead, it is communion with God. In this sermon, we’ll see that our prayer life can be transformed when we use it to relate to God as our heavenly Father.

Communion with God: The Word of God (Part 1)

April 28, 2013 | Series: Communion with God. Scripture: Mark and Psalms. Speakers: Pastor Mitch Freeman.

Various Texts
God designed our souls to function in communion with himself. Just as a car needs gas, or the body needs food, so do our souls need God. In this series, we’ll be studying three ways to experience communion with God: through his word, through prayer, and through fasting. In this first sermon, we look at our soul’s great need for God’s word.
