In a world that never stops, the spiritual disciplines of Sabbath and fasting offer a path to a flourishing life in Christ. The Sabbath, a day of rest, mirrors God's own rest after creation and provides physical, mental, and spiritual renewal. Fasting, abstaining from food, helps develop self-control, endure suffering, and deepen prayer life. Embracing these practices can center our identity in Jesus and enhance our spiritual growth.

In this sermon, we conclude our five-week series on the 'Rhythms of Life,' focusing on the disciplines of generosity and serving. The sermon emphasizes that these practices are not just about giving money or time but about aligning our hearts with God's desires. By examining passages from Matthew 6 and 2 Corinthians 8-9, we learn that generosity is a matter of the heart and that it has far-reaching implications for our spiritual lives. The sermon also highlights three principles of generosity: giving proportionally, finishing what we start, and giving cheerfully. Ultimately, these rhythms help us spend more time with Jesus, become more like Him, and do the things He did.
