On Tuesday, July 27th, we'll be continuing in our study of the spiritual disciplines. This week, we'll debrief on our prayer & meditation challenge from last week (described below), be led in a discussion on fasting by Sarah and Mark, and spend some time praying for one another.
If you missed last week (or have lost the handy handout Ross gave for last week's challenge), pick one or two of the following passages involving prayer, and set aside some time to pray and meditate on them this week: 2 Chronicles 30:18, John 17:1, 1 Kings 8:22, Ephesians 3:14, 2 Kinds 20:2, and Habakkuk 3:1. (For each passage, the verse listed is just the start of the prayer...keep reading to the end of the prayer)
As for our new topic, fasting is mentioned many times in the scriptures, but doesn't seem to be widely practiced in evangelical churches today. Are we missing the boat? - Is it something we should be doing? If so, how should we go about fasting, and for what purposes?
I hope to see you at Jill & Heather's house, 460 Sunnybrook Lane in Wheaton at 7:30pm on Tuesday!
