Listening carefully… when you fast, pray, give.

Sunday Sermon , , , 0 Comments

This Sunday we did something slightly different. Rather than a talk on this topic I led some discussion around Matthew 6: 1-8, 16-18.

Why not join in with a similar reflection. Read the passage a couple of times and then think about the following questions.

What is getting your attention? Is there a challenge of encouragement? Is there a puzzle to ponder?

What Got my (Ben) attention was the word ‘when’. Jesus assumes that those who want to grow in their faith, who follow his way will fast, pray and give. You might like to think about some new questions.

What are your experiences of spiritual practice? What ways has God given you to draw close? What might you start, stop or try?

You can find further resources for reflection and discussion, a link to the bible project video for this passage, and some further thoughts on practices here (link loads pdf).
