Three Practices of the Church That Can Change the World (9:45 Contemporary)

According to an old joke, it was once said that many people would be equally shocked to hear Christianity doubted or to see it practiced. The Christian faith is not just a collection of ideas to be believed; it is also a set of deeds to be performed. There are things we DO because we are Christians. While some of the things we do differ in times and places, there are three practices that are common to Christians of every age: almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. The difference between the Church’s practice and what is taught in Judaism is that Jesus redefined them: These acts are not performed for the benefit of other people…but only for God.
