Day 3 Hope amid Day 1 Disappointment and Day 2 Confusion...

Have you had a third-day experience with Jesus?

Cory talks about expectations. What expectations have you put on Jesus that are your own - not something he's promised?

Discipleship to Jesus that lasts is rooted in sacrificial worship and totally surrendered to God's agenda.

It may seem strange to think about supporting the less fortunate through fasting. But it is possible! Just remember, this isn't about "virtue signaling," or showing support through words only. After all, if the people you care about don't know you care.....you don't care.

"You can pray without fasting but you absolutely cannot fast without praying!" This week guest speaker Nick Payne talks about fasting's effect on our prayers.

Constantly supplying your body and mind with short term, earthly pleasures slowly quiets and eventually mutes the voice of God and the desire for heavenly things. The ultimate goal of fasting is to draw closer to God.

It isn't abstinence. It isn't a restricted diet. So what is it? Fasting is a practice aimed at offering our entire selves to God so that He can transform us into the image of Jesus!

Pastor Ryan talks about contemplative prayer and simply leaning into the presence of our Father God. This isn't emptying your mind; it's, "think[ing] about the things of heaven, not the things of earth."

Kent McKay teaches from the book of Ruth and quotes Jarod K. Anderson, "we seldom admit the seductive comfort of hopelessness. It saves us from ambiguity. It has an answer for every question - there's just no point. Hope, on the other hand, is messy. If it might all work out, then we have things to do. We must weather the possibility of happiness."

In the last sermon of this series, Cory talks about Jesus I AM the true Vine statement. What does it mean to be a branch of the true vine? Cory says that, "pruning encourages healthy growth. It isn't hacking - but carefully planned."

Pastor Ryan says that, "Jesus is the WAY back to God's presence and the TRUTH about God's presence that leads us to LIFE in God's presence."
