Send us Fan MailSpiritual Disciplines | The Discipline of Fasting: Rooted - Part 5Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith Stewart11-18-18 Of all the disciplines we've looked at in this series, fasting is the most neglected. Apart from preparing for the occasional blood test or surgical procedure, most of us NEVER do it. Yet, Jesus assumed we would fast along with pray and give (Mt.6). Why is this discipline so important and how might we incorporate it into our walk with God? Come discover with us the feast in fasting. SERIES: ROOTEDAnd now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)Henri Nouwen described spiritual disciplines as "...the effort to create some space in which God can act." Bottom line, we can't make ourselves grow. We can only put ourselves in a place where God can grow us and change us. This is why we engage in spiritual disciplines. God grows us but it's our job to open ourselves up to His influence by giving Him space to work.https://www.springcreekchurch.org/#realspringcreekchurch #rooted #spiritualdisciplines #discipline #scripture #meditation #solitude #fasting
