Before We Move Forward

There’s something about new things that’s exciting. A new year feels full of possibilities, new opportunities, new direction, maybe even a fresh start. But if we’re not careful, that excitement can quickly turn into pressure to fix everything on our own.

In this message, Pastor Lance invites us to slow down before we move forward. As a church, we begin each year with 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. This message looks at why God calls His people to fast, what fasting is not, and how it helps realign our hearts to seek Him first. Fasting isn’t about earning God’s attention—it’s about positioning ourselves to hear Him.

If you’re stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a sense that you need God’s direction, this message is for you.
