SCHEDULE:
September 25-27, 2024
On-site gathering at Multipurpose Hall 1
(MPH 1 | GF Discipleship Center), 8PM
God’s presence and faithfulness is unchanging throughout the seasons. Regardless of our seasons, we’re called to draw near to God. For God is near to all who call on him (Psalm 25), He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He draws near to those who draw near to Him (Psalm 145:18). For this reset, we shall be using the Psalms and songs of worship to draw near to God.
Draw Near to God Amidst the Seasons
(1) Drawing near to God despite seasons of loss and lament
(2) Drawing near to God despite seasons of uncertainty and doubt
(3) Drawing near to God in seasons of praise and hope
Have you experienced collective prayer and fasting?
The spiritual practices of prayer and fasting play essential roles in the life of every disciple. It is in prayer that we connect to God as He, too, communicates with us. Similarly, in fasting, we abstain from something — such as food, objects, or activities — to devote time and energy to spend with God.We pray and fast on our own, but these practices take on a whole new meaning when they are done as a community. When we pray and fast together, we create opportunities to carry each other's burdens as the Lord had commanded us in Galatians 6:2. Alone we are weak and vulnerable. But together, we are stronger. Collective prayer and fasting strengthen the church as one body.The Christian Bible Church of the Philippines regularly observes RESET – a three-day prayer and fasting period for the entire church. The church gathers every night at 8:00 pm to pray as one body, as one church.
