Jesus came to establish a Kingdom that He described as “not of this world.”  How does understanding what He meant help us to proclaim an Anthem of Hope in the difficult times we are facing as a nation and as a world?

We don’t often talk about fasting, but Jesus is clear in the New Testament that it is something He expected His followers to do.  If so, how do we do it?  For how long?  What is the purpose?  We try to seek answers to those questions as we prepare for our day of Prayer and Fasting on March 26th, 2020.

Paul tells us to pray without ceasing, but is that even possible?  How can prayer transform the way in which I relate to God in all areas of my life?  Jesus demonstrated the kind of moment-to-moment connection He desires for us, and He was willing to die for us to create that connection.

Prayer is not simply a spiritual discipline.  It is an ongoing relationship we are building with the Father.  Before Jesus gave us His model prayer in Matthew 6, He described what the posture of our hearts should be to prepare for prayer.
