SUNDAY MESSAGE
Sunday November 17th
Pastor Randy Greer
“Do We Really Need to Fast?” Isaiah 58:1-12
I hate to fast. Let me rephrase that, my flesh hates fasting. That’s because, in spite of the fact that I enjoy eating, the main reason Jesus requires fasting as probably our most difficult spiritual discipline is so that we will have the opportunity to stare down that sin that so easily besets us.
That’s number one. John Piper says it this way: “The only authentic fasting is fasting that includes a spiritual attack against our own sin.”
As you will see in this sermon today, the fasting that pleases the Father will lead to the development of an Impact Center. Seems like we might have gotten the cart before the horse. Listen carefully today because the Lord is giving us the Great Physician’s prescription for health and well-being, not a job description that earns wages from Him. This is so very important.
Sadly, we lost a great warrior and pillar of our church community this week. For the last 37 years, Jouleen Cotton has served the girls of our Fellowship with grace and distinction. Suddenly and without any forewarning, God called her home to her great reward. Her Memorial Service will be this Friday, November 22nd, here in the Sanctuary at 11 am. Please make arrangements to be here.
Events / Upcoming Events
NIGHT OF A MILLION DREAMS…
Concert will be Friday, Nov 15 at 7 pm at the Church of Las Vegas on Horizon Ridge Pkwy. This will benefit the renovated facility, formally the home of polygamous sect leader and imprisoned Warren Jeffs, now being turned into one of the newest Dream Centers. The series of miracles that has brought this about is nearly beyond imagination. Admission will be $20 but call the church office this week and take advantage of an offer just for our church of 50% off. It will be hosted by Tommy Barnett of Phoenix First Assembly of God.
