Sermon: Fasting

Author CMCC

Fasting [Psalm 77 & 1 Corinthians 9:24-27] by Pastor Rupert Abbott.

#4 in Lent series based on our CMCC jointly written Lent Devotional. 

 When I read through the 1^st draft I was struck by the strong message for us from  this week’s contributions! We have been challenged; given a challenge that requires a response!  Note that 4 ½ out of 7 of the writers are from the East! (Paul Utley has lived here for 35 years = 1/2 !) Fasting does not fit easily in individualistic Western societies where the feel good factor dictates how we live, and our individualistic outlook on life can so easily pervade our Christian lives too; in our international church it is good for us with a Western mindset to be challenged by those who are heart and soul Eastern; to see our Christian life in a corporate dimension, and to be willing to embrace spiritual disciplines which are just that – discipline!
