Vision Sunday - Week 3

Pastor Dell concluded our 3-week Vision series, looking at the topics of giving, praying, and fasting found in Matthew 6:1-18. Jesus assumes that giving, prayer, and fasting are natural parts of following Christ, not optional activities. These three disciplines position us to receive God's rewards and develop a deeper relationship with Him. Giving involves our time, talent, and treasure - flowing from a surrendered heart rather than obligation. Prayer is a secret communion with God that transforms our public spiritual life. Fasting means going without food for spiritual purposes, using hunger pangs as reminders to seek God more than physical satisfaction. These practices aren't about earning God's favor but positioning ourselves for transformation that overflows to impact our communities for Christ.
