CITY CHURCH – LEADING AS ONE
What does it take to be a great leader? Charisma? Charm? Power? Money? Centre Church is a recent member of The City Church, a group of eleven+ local congregations seeking to please God in his desire to see unity among His followers across “denominational” lines. At a time when Centre County has lost a centralizing figure in Joe Paterno and is struggling at best to trust the leadership at Penn State, questions of unity and leadership could not come at a more opportune time.
NOT ALWAYS FAST TO FAST?
So there’s another 21 day fast coming up at Centre Church and a little bit of pre-buzz happening out there. Some of you are getting pretty excited about what has become our bi-annual Daniel Fast. Some of you are new kids on the block and this will be your first go-around with fasting, or at least fasting for this amount of time. But I wonder if some of us greet the fast with a little bit of dread… after all, it is not designed to be an easy time.
WHY FAST
Why Fast?
Fasting and Prayer can restore the loss of the “first love” for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ.- Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble self in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). King David said, “I humble myself through fasting.”
- Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life. The Holy Spirit will quicken the Word of God in your heart and His truth will become more meaningful to you!
