-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON- Fasting to the glory of God

Dear River Family,

In preparation for this Sunday, read Matthew 6:1-18. Give special attention to verse 1 and verses 16-18. Lord willing, this Sunday we will look to scripture to better understand a "practice of righteousness" in which many followers of Christ simply fail to practice - Fasting. This Sunday, we hope to tackle a few questions:

What is fasting? Why did people in the Bible fast? Are we to fast today as followers of Christ?

Until He comes, having the mind of Christ, walk together in grace and truth.

Grace and Peace, Eric
