Fasting – Rediscovering a Forgotten Spiritual Discipline with Pastor Luan Ribeiro

This course invites you on a thoughtful and transformative journey into one of the most neglected practices in modern Christianity—fasting. While often overlooked or misunderstood, fasting holds profound spiritual significance and is deeply rooted in biblical tradition.

Together, we’ll examine why fasting has fallen out of practice, confront common misconceptions, and explore how this challenging yet powerful discipline can draw us closer to God. Through scriptural insights and practical guidance, you’ll discover the purpose, patterns, and spiritual motivations for fasting—not as a way to earn blessings, but as a sacred response to repentance, grief, divine calling, and spiritual growth.

Beyond its spiritual implications, we’ll also uncover the physical, mental, and emotional benefits that accompany this holistic discipline, showing how fasting engages the entire person—body, mind, and spirit.

Whether you’re new to fasting or seeking to deepen your understanding, this course will equip you with the tools to rediscover fasting as a vital expression of faith and discipleship.

Living by the Living Word – A Journey into Personal Bible Study with Pastor Charles Holtry

The Bible has been called many things—an anchor in the stormy sea of opinion, an anvil outlasting countless hammers, and a literary masterpiece admired by philosophers and thinkers alike. It has inspired nations, puzzled scientists, and changed lives. But beyond all of this, the Bible claims something remarkable: it is the very Word of God.

This course invites you to move beyond secondhand knowledge and into a personal, transformative relationship with Scripture. King David declared that God’s Word gives light and understanding (Psalm 119:130), and Jesus taught that we are to live by every word from God (Matthew 4:4). The goal of this study is to equip you with simple, practical tools to hear God’s voice for yourself through His Word.

Like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, Bible study can be confusing without seeing the whole picture. Many misinterpret Scripture by focusing on isolated verses or difficult passages without understanding the overarching message of God's love and salvation. That’s why we’ll explore the Bible using a clear three-step method: Observe, Interpret, and Apply.

Through guided lessons, you’ll learn to:

• Ask insightful questions of the text (Observation)
• Understand the intended meaning of Scripture (Interpretation)
• Personally apply God’s truth to your life (Application)

We'll explore the lives of Bible characters, dive into word studies, and personalize Scripture so that its message becomes relevant and alive to you today. Like meeting a new friend, getting to know God through His Word takes time, curiosity, and heart.

Doctrine is not just dry theology—it’s the teaching of Jesus, meant to deepen our relationship with Him. As Charles Spurgeon once said, it’s not enough to speak about Jesus; we must also let Him speak to us through His Word. Just as feathers guide an arrow to its target, application gives direction and impact to our Bible study.

By the end of this course, our hope is that you will not only know your Bible better but know God better—His heart, His will, and His call for your life.

Join us as we learn to live by the living Word.
