The Discipline of Fasting

2009-08-23 by University Presbyterian Church

Pastor Seth Hammond
Matthew 9:14-17

Fasting is something we voluntarily give up for spiritual purposes. We can fast from almost anything such as abstaining from food, using our computers, or watching tv. The goal of fasting is to help us identify what controls us and to learn how we can depend more on Christ. Listen more to learn about the spiritual discipline of fasting.

The Discipline of Celebrating

2009-08-16 by University Presbyterian Church

Pastor Mike Osborne
Romans 12: 9-16

In this second message in his series on the spiritual disciplines, Mike Osborne says that Christians should celebrate more often. In a culture that is already plenty hedonistic, why should followers of Christ be encouraged to “rejoice with those who rejoice”? How does Biblical celebration differ from office parties and club-hopping? Find out in this message from Romans 12:9-16.
