WELCOME!


Welcome to our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting! Whether this is your first experience with the spiritual discipline of fasting or you have practiced the activity before, we are excited to journey together.  This  year we are focusing on “Dangerous Prayers”.  Usually when danger is involved, we are warned against it and seek to avoid whatever is the source of that danger. In this case, when we pray “dangerous prayers”, the prayers are “dangerous” because they will open us up to God’s activity in our lives. Dangerous Prayers may stretch us out of our comfort zone; they may lead us to take steps of obedience that requires faith; they may require us to “deny to ourselves” in order to be conformed to the image of Christ.   

Over the next 21 days, we will look at various “dangerous prayers” and how we can allow God to guide, direct and shape our lives.

FASTING


"In fasting, we choose to say "no" to some good things to say "yes" to something even better, namely, Jesus. The ultimate goal of all spiritual discipline is to fix our eyes more keenly on Jesus, becoming more and more like him being transformed by His Spirit." -  Bob Marvel

A Living Sacrifice

 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

Romans 12:1
