    Today in our modern era, as humans [especially Americans] we want and desire growth almost instantaneously, but we may need to starve to get there (yes I'm talking about fasting) ! According to the National Institute of Aging (NIA), fasting provides great benefits such as inflammation suppression, improved glucose regulation, increased stress resistance (both oxidative and metabolic), removal and repair of damaged molecules, and overall improved mental and physical performance. Fasting has great benefits for us physically, but what does fasting do for our spiritual health? How would this discipline help us with our struggles and doubts?

    When your soul is uneasy or hazy, who or what do you go to, in order to find rest? You're like a sheep, and no not like the bah bah kind, but kinda like the animal u were thinking of! See in life we all have strong moments where we feel like sheep. For instance, we get lost, confused, or frustrated at our next moves in life (whether it be in jobs, relationships, school, family, etc.), and that leads our souls to be hazy. When that happens, the one thing we search for is a shepherd! And we tend to look for shepherds in different avenues (sadly not all good ones and a lot of times they can't fully lead us to a place where our soul feels serenity). But what if I told you about the one Shepherd that can and will! He knows and can guard against the deepest anxieties in our hearts! Stay tuned and let's dive in to find out what or more importantly who can lead our souls to a place of rest like a lost sheep.

    The past few years have been difficult for many of us, but each and every one of us carry our own unique walk through life. We all have done the walk or the Christian walk differently and have experienced many different things. Learning about what life looks like through different lenses, especially lives in Christ, can help grow us and can help us navigate our journey with Christ better. Today we get to hear Pastor Jason talk about what living a life reflective of the Grace of God looks like. We will learn what to do when you feel like God is calling you to something and you are unsure, the importance of accountability in life, how God uses trials to teach us things, strengthen us, and build us up, we learn an aspect of what true love looks like, and lastly the importance of fellowship.

Learning about what life looks like through different lenses, especially lives in Christ, can help grow us and can help us navigate our journey with Christ better.

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. 10He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Matthew 6:5-8 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

    Have you ever waited on the Lord for something, but it just isn't coming? Have you given up? This session takes a look at perseverance through faith in that empty time between hearing an answer from God and receiving what comes out of it. And without further ado… LET'S DIVE IN! Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. John 14:1-14 (key verses 12-14) 12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me[a] anything in my name, I will do it.

    James 4:1-4 (key verses 1-2) What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. This is a mini series to look at how we can give Jesus thanks on the Thanksgiving holiday as oppose to just stuffing our faces with turkey. This episode looks into preserving good by handing over our agendas to Christ. Happy Thanksgiving and… LET'S DIVE IN!

    1 Kings 19:9-18 (key verses for the study is 11-13) 11 And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.[a] 13 And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Have you been struggling with hearing answers to your prayers? Do you feel like you are sort of hearing an answer, but are not sure? This episode takes a look at ways to hear God's whispers in a world that is noisier than it's ever been.

    Philippians 2:12-18 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. 14Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18So you too should be glad and rejoice with me. Psalm 28:6-9 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. 8The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. 9Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. Romans 1:21-25 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen. This is a mini series to look at how we can give Jesus thanks on the Thanksgiving holiday as oppose to just stuffing our faces with turkey.
