21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 3

THE WORD OF GOD

"I am a creature of a day. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God. I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me the book of God. Let me be a man of one book."
- John Wesley

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

DISCIPLESHIP

"You can only get out of a man what you put into him. If you put nothing in, how can you make a withdrawal?"

GIVING

"Giving never travels in a straight line, it always travels in circles."
- Robert Schuller

"So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?" As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread. As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die. Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.' She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah."
1 Kings 17:10-16 NIV

THE HOUSE OF GOD

"The Church is the plan of God on earth, always in her Father's eye. Cherished, mysterious, beautiful and potent beyond measure. She emerges triumphant, limitless with potential. A harbor for the hopeless, and an answer for the ages. The Church resplendent, a bride for His Son. She grows in wisdom and stature, with victory on her lips and freedom in her hands. Hers is an unstoppable cause. She embraces the world with dignity, honor and compassion. She gives vision to the sightless and life to the dying.

The Church is the family of God on earth. Within her compass the hungry find sustenance and the weary strength. She is a haven for recovering humanity. Enthralled by grace. She invites the broken, the vulnerable and the outcast to be immersed in love. The Church is the house of heaven on earth. Called out to serve the world. Calling out to welcome in. Like her Master, the church is pursued and persecuted; yet she rises with strength in her heart and fire in her soul.

She is the bride of Christ on earth, prepared and presented before the Lord, the Lamb for whom the world waits. He comes like the rising sun - majestic and magnificent beyond description while she dazzles with reflected glory. Spotless, perfect and mature. she bows low to cast her crowns and passionately worship him.

She is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ."
- Robert Fergusson

"Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord."
Acts 9:31
 

DISCIPLESHIP

"Take the words of Jesus and let them become the Supreme Court of the Gospel to you."
- John G. Lake

"Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD."
Leviticus 22:31 NIV
 

GIVING

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
- Mother Theresa

"Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full."

"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name

your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.

as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen."

21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Introduction

A PRAYING CHURCH

We are excited to have launched our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting this week, and would love for you to join us as we seek God together!

We believe that God will do extraordinary things as we set this time aside to fast, pray and seek Him in His Word.

Jesus said Fasting is "an appetite-denying discipline to better focus on God"
Matthew 6:14, Message

Whatever fast you choose, we pray that it will be a spiritually renewing and empowering time for you personally and for us as a church corporately.

As we seek God together at the start of 2018 we pray it will be your greatest year yet!
