Fasting

This week's Way to Go Podcast features Pastor Bill McMinn and Bradly Brobst exploring the profound topic of fasting. Drawing inspiration from biblical examples, the discussion highlights various aspects of fasting:

1. To Show Humility:  Drawing from Psalm 35:13-14, fasting is presented as a demonstration of humility before God. Just as Moses and Christ fasted, it is a posture of prayer and reverence.

2. To Show Repentance:  Ahab, known for his evil deeds, repented through fasting in 1 Kings 21:25-27. Similarly, the Ninevites, including their king, fasted as a sign of repentance in Jonah 3:5-9.

3. Empowers Prayer:  Fasting is shown to enhance the effectiveness of prayer, as seen in Mark 9:28-29 and Ezra 8:21-23. It signifies a humble approach to seek God's guidance and intervention.

4. Part of Revival:  In 1 Samuel 7:6, fasting is depicted as part of the process of revival, where individuals gather, confess their sins, and seek to return to the Lord.

The podcast emphasizes that fasting involves deprivation of food, forsaking comforts, and maintaining a private practice, as instructed in Matthew 6:16-18. The ultimate focus is on seeking God's approval rather than showcasing one's fasting to others.

Part 1: The Ten Commandments

Pastor Bill and Eric discuss the first five of the ten commandments. They read them straight from the Bible and then discuss how they relate to everyday life. 

 

They dig into Exodus 20: 1-12:

 

And God spoke all these words, saying,

² “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

³ “You shall have no other gods before^[a] me.

⁴ “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵ You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing steadfast love to thousands^[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments.

⁷ “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

⁸ “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

¹² “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Maturity

Pastor Bill and Eric discuss maturity. It's not about you, but about building others up. Be considerate and serve others. 

Philippians 2:3-4 - 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Romans 14:13-17 - Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

Ephesians 4:12-17 - to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Unified

Pastor Bill and Mark discuss being unified as a church. 

Ephesians 4: As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Unity takes 
• Humility
• Gentleness
• Patience
• Bearing with one another
• Making every effort
• Keep the peace

Making Transitions

Pastor Bill McMinn and Brad Brobst talk about making transitions.

One of Bill's mantras in life is this – nothing stays the same forever. Things are always changing.

Ecclesiastes 3: There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2      a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3      a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4      a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5      a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6      a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7      a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8      a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
9  What do workers gain from their toil?  10  I have seen the burden God has laid on the human
race.  11  He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet [a]  no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Communication

Pastor Bill McMinn and Brad Brobst talk about SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE. They discuss about communication and how to have an argument with others in love. Ephesians 4:15 - Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Routines

Pastor Bill McMinn and Eric Barfell discuss the topic of routines. They feel that they do better when they are in a routine. 

 

DEFINITION: a regular course of procedure - habitual or mechanical performance of an established procedure.

 

They look at scriptures that show examples of routines.

 

Luke 4:16 - He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,

 

Luke 5:16 - But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

 

Daniel 6:10 - Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Talking Finances

Talking Finances

 

?What are the best things you’ve learned about finances? 

 

** Pay Attention

 

Proverbs 23:23 - Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; ²⁴ for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. ²⁵ When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in, ²⁶ the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. ²⁷ You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants.

 

This is like stepping on the scale every day.  I monitor my bank accounts every day.  You have to know what’s going on.  The more aware I am, the less likely I am to spend it.

 

Budgets are good. 

 

Count the cost

 

Know what’s going on – both the husband and the wife should know what the obligations are. 

 

*** Spend Less

 

*** Save

 

Proverbs 13:11 - Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

 

*** Avoid Debt

 

Proverbs 22:7 -  The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.

 

*** Side Hustle

*** Communicate

*** Count the Cost

*** Do Stuff Yourself

*** Trust in God

 

Seek first his kingdom and his righteous.
