Isaiah 58
As we continue to consider the subject of Fasting, we see in Isaiah 58 that it's more than just a time to grow in holiness and maturity. A natural result of spiritual growth is the desire for justice and mercy for the poor. God calls us to have compassion on the physical needs of others, as well as the spiritual needs.

Matthew 4:1-11
Taking regular time to fast and pray helps our whole person to grow spiritually. 1- it weans us off cycles of pleasure, 2- it helps reveal what is truly in our heart, 3- it helps reorder our priorities, 4- it enables us to draw our power from God to overcome sin. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Acts 2:1-21
On this Pentecost Sunday, Jay Pathak, the National Director of Vineyard USA, spoke about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, and how the Holy Spirit desires to continue to fill us everyday. We need to draw upon His power to mature as followers of Jesus, and to transform our witness to the world.

John 3:5-8
There is one God, three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals Himself to us by the life He births in us. The Holy Spirit empowers us, so that He may reveal Himself to others. The Holy Spirit brings us clarity where there is confusion.

Isaiah 58:13-14
Our time of Sabbath rest should be a delight, not a burden. We should delight in the things that delight God. He delights in His Creation, so we should take time to enjoy nature. He delights in His children, so we should spend some time with other believers. He delights in love, justice & righteousness, so we should serve others. Even as He delights in His Son, Jesus, so should we take time with him.

Genesis 2:1-3
Our culture pressures us to be busy. Jesus wants to give us rest. We can experience Jesus more if we set aside some time each week to rest and fellowship with Him. By surrendering a time of contemplation before God, we are renewed physically, mentally, and spiritually. It's a glimpse of eternity.

2 Corinthians 4:1-18
The temporal things of life will eventually fail. By fixing our eyes on Christ, we're able to be renewed in the unseen things that are eternal. He set the example, by extending grace, choosing a path of vulnerability, and seeking the highest interest of others. That's what is pleasing to God: not power plays, but shepherding hearts.

Deuteronomy 6:1-9
Listening to God is critical to becoming fervent for serving the Lord. It comes by 1) Reading and praying through the Bible, 2) Walking in the Spirit, 3) Inserting yourself into Christian community. If we want spiritual renewal, we must not selectively hear & obey God.
(This recording begins with the pre-sermon worship.)

1 Samuel 1:1-20
When we are broken or discouraged, we may find it hard to pray, especially when answers don't come right away. As we study the story of Hannah, we can be encouraged. Brokenness is a yielded heart open before God, emptied of pride and bitterness. We can rediscover God's love, mercy and forgiveness.

Ephesians 1:15-23
Mankind is in search of paradise and peace. The death of Jesus on the cross occurred for our sake, yet it was the resurrection that proved the truth and power of Christ. We can walk today in newness of life, because of that resurrection power. We find paradise in Him.
