Day 7: Sunday Sermon

This morning, District Superintendent of the Metro District of the C&MA, Kelvin Walker is sharing with us on how to live out a vertical (connection with God) and horizontal (service and connection to others) gospel. To watch online go to our watch online page or join us for our in-person gatherings at 9 & 11 a.m. For more information on our in-person gatherings go to stonecrestchurch.com/regather.

Before this morning’s service, take time and read the main passage he will be speaking from during your time of personal time with the Lord.

Isaiah 58:6-12
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?” Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.

1. How is God speaking to you now based on reading the passage? Write down your answers. 
2. What do you learn about true fasting and devotion to the Lord from the passage? What does He describe as “true fasting” that HE is pleased with? 
3. Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to speak to you as you enter into a time of corporate online or in-person worship. Ask the Lord for new awareness of His voice and ask Him for life change as you seek Him today!
