This Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, we will begin a 40-day adventure along with sister congregations around the world called “Focus Forty.” It is season of prayer and fasting leading up to Easter. I hope you will be here for our experiential worship service at 6:45 on Wednesday! Check out: www.chog.org for daily devotions to assist you during “Focus Forty.”
Yesterday we explored Exodus 33 and 34 and drew some conclusions about Moses’ 40-Day fast and experience with God.
Here are the highlights:
Fasting gives us a special opportunity to PRESENT ourselves to God. (Exodus 34:2-3 and Romans 12:1)
Fasting gives you a special opportunity to focus on God’s PRESENCE. (Exodus 33:14-15 and verse 18)
Fasting gives you a special opportunity to renew God’s Covenenant PRINCIPLES. (Exodus 34:10ff)
Moses left the 40-Day Fasting Adventure DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT (Exodus 34:29-30)
Will you join me for a 40-Day Adventure? Seek the face of the Lord. Fast to add sacrifice to your prayers. Pray for a harvest of souls! Together, let’s allow God to transform each one of us.
See you Wednesday for day one!
Pastor Melissa
