More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Lent Series #6 -- Jonah 2-3 -- Am I urgently hungry for a new move of God?
The story of Jonah inspires me to believe that we're living in days of expectancy and it's time to call urgently on God. How urgent do you feel about making space for God? Is it, more of a "well that would be nice." Or is it more like air? "Without it, I ain't gonna make it?" With fasting and prayer, Nineveh urgently called upon God. And we find later in Jonah's story that, filled with compassion and grace; God responded with a city-wide fast and one of the greatest revivals in history took place in one of the most wicked cities in history.
What's the big deal about fasting? Fasting is a way of saying, "I'm taking this serious. This isn't a game. I'm coming with intensity and urgency and humility. I'm coming in repentance. I'm coming with desperation. I'm asking you to break my heart for the things that break your heart. I'm urgently asking for a move of your Spirit in our region!
