Something for Nothing

Modern
Something for nothing sounds too good to be true. That’s because it usually is. But when we really commit to something, we can be richly rewarded for the experience. And faith without commitment may be nothing at all.  

This Sunday in the Modern Worship service, our lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will explore the issue of faith and commitment in his sermon, “Something for Nothing.”

On Sunday, we’ll explore the practice of fasting—a discipline that might feel as strange or impossible as giving up your smartphone for a day. While the Bible doesn’t command us to fast, it shows how powerful fasting can be in deepening our relationship with God. Just like working out strengthens our muscles, fasting can strengthen our spiritual life, helping us resist temptation and grow in dependence on God. We’ll look at how fasting helps us step back from what controls us, whether food, screens, or habits, and how it can lead to real transformation. Join us as we learn how fasting opens our hearts to God's strength and guidance.

This Sunday, we’re diving into the mystery of prayer. Prayer is something everyone can grow in, no matter how long we've been following Jesus. Jesus taught us to pray, and through prayer, we come closer to God, listen for His voice, and grow more like Him. We’ll also see that prayer isn’t just talking—it’s communion with God. So, come ready to explore how you can benefit from this powerful practice in your daily life.

Have you ever lost something really important to you? Mary and Joseph once lost Jesus, but he wasn’t really lost—he was right where he needed to be! This Sunday, we’ll hear the story of how they found him and what it teaches us about growing in faith and looking for Jesus in the right places. We'll see you Sunday!
