Join Pastor Allen Bonnell as we launch into the “40 Days of Ancient Ways,” a spiritual journey designed to help us step off the exhausting “hamster wheel” of modern life. In this message, drawn from Jeremiah 6:16, we explore the timeless invitation to stand at the crossroads, look for the ancient paths, and find true rest for our souls.

The sermon focuses on moving from cultural Christianity to spiritual vitality through three ancient disciplines:

- The Rhythm of Sabbath: We explore why God gave us the gift of rest—not because He was tired, but to set a pattern for our well-being. Learn how to “cease, rest, delight, and worship” to break the cycle of endless striving and find fulfillment in Christ alone.

- The Discipline of Fasting: Pastor Allen calls the church to a communal fast, declaring that our deepest need is not to be filled by the world, but to be formed by God. We discuss how fasting shows the Father our desperation for Him and invites His power into our lives.

- The Power of Scripture Memory: Over the next 40 days, our church will memorize Romans 12. Discover how writing God’s Word on the “tablet of your heart” provides the mental and spiritual strength needed to navigate life’s crossroads.

The message concludes with a warning from Jeremiah’s time: many heard the invitation to rest but chose to continue in their own rebellion. Don’t let that be your story. Respond to the gentle and lowly heart of Jesus today and begin walking the path that leads to life.
