“To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain” We have heard this phrase in church many times before. But in the times we are in it can take on a whole new meaning. We easily get caught up in our personal ideologies and forgot our purpose and why we are here. Listen this week as Pastor Paul takes us through Paul’s life in the book of Acts, his purpose, and what we know to be true.

We conclude the second part of “The Gift of Prayer & Fasting” by focusing on prayer and 3 ways in which it is a gift in our lives - as an extraordinary invitation, as the means to change, and as spiritual nourishment for our lives.

As we continued our time of prayer and fasting as church, this Sunday we looked specifically at fasting and the gift it is as a spiritual discipline in our lives for our spiritual formation - to practice self-denial, to teach us self control, and as a way to feast on Jesus.

Scripture tells us not to despise prophecy but to test it and hold fast to what is good. How do we do welcome God's voice in our lives and be expectant for Him to speak to us? We look at this as we begin our time of prayer & fasting as a church.

As we enter into a New Year filled once again with a fair degree of uncertainty, how can we live in a such a way that deepens our dependance on Jesus and our relationship with Him? Pastor Paul unpacks portions of 1 Timothy 4 to provide some answers to the question, how can we diligently persevere in 2022?

Whatever "This" is right now in our lives. All of it. The situations, circumstances, and experiences we are walking through. Whatever it is, what will it all result in? How can we embrace what God is doing amidst these times? We look at 1 Peter 1 and the questions that are posed to us.
