He’s worthy to be praised.

LUke 19:28-40 (niV)28After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30“Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34They replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

38“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

Fasting For The Lenten Season

As we prepare for our churchwide Lenten season fast, keep in mind our 2016 Theme – The Fruit of the Spirit: Taste and See! Our reset cards for 2016 reflect the monthly Bible scriptures that support our theme, focusing on a separate fruit each month. For the time of our fast, they will focus on Joy and Peace. You are encouraged to use this resource as one of your sources of inspiration during our fasting period and beyond. Fasting is a spiritual discipline designed to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ. We do not fast to lose weight; we fast to be empowered by Jesus Christ. In 2016, as we seek to renew our relationship with God, God will reveal God’s purpose and plan in your life if you dare fast, pray, study and learn the power of quiet time. Jesus had to steal away from the crowd and spend time with his Father in the mountains, to pray, study, reflect, meditate, and center his spirit. If fasting and prayer were the disciplines of Jesus, should not this be followed by us? Join with us this season and witness a breakthrough, as we fast, pray, study, reflect, meditate, and learn the power of quiet time.

Question: i have never fasted before?Answer: Consult your doctor first!* Fasting is not the removal of all food from your diet. Fasting is learning to discipline your mind, body and spirit to remove “something” you know hinders your ability to function at your highest capacity, from your life or diet.

Question: is fasting biblical?Answer: Fasting is biblical. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, fasting was used by the people of God to prepare for a spiritual challenge, hear God’s voice before making a major decision, and for removing destructive forces in your life.

Fast #1 - Fasting to confront destructive forces• February 10 – February 16

Eat all your meals before 6:00 p.m.• February 17 – February 23

Eat only two meals, before 6:00 p.m.• February 24 – March 1

Eat only one meal a day before 6:00 p.m.• March 2 – March 8

Drink only juices, water, and/or tea• March 9 – March 15

Eat only fruits and vegetables, before 6:00 p.m.

• March 16 – March 26 Slowly begin to add meat to your diet

Fast #2 – The Daniel Fast (Taken from the book of Daniel). When Daniel was captured by the Babylonians, he asked of the Babylonians if he, along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,

could fast eating only fruits and vegetables so they would be prepared to confront the Babylonian king.

• February 10 – February 16 Eat all meals before 6:00 p.m.

• February 17 – February 23 Eat only two meals a day, before 6:00 p.m.

• February 24 – March 1 Eat only fruits and vegetables, before 6:00 p.m.

• March 2 – March 8 Eat one meal a day before 6:00 p.m.; meat may be added.

• March 9 – March 15 Eat two meals a day before 6:00 p.m.; meat may be added.

• March 16 – March 26 Eat three meals a day before 6:00 p.m.

Fast #3 - Removing certain foods or items from your diet or life. One type of fasting is to remove certain foods from your diet, such as fried foods, sweets, sodas, or refined sugar and/or flour.

*Please seek the advice of your primary care provider/doctor before beginning a fast that involves restricting food/calories and/or medication. Your doctor can help you design a fasting plan that protects your health and well-being. This is extremely important if you are pregnant or have a medical condition. Medical condition examples include, but are not limited to those who have a chronic disease such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, recent surgery, etc.

To Do JusticeScarcely a day goes by that there is not another tragedy in the news about a shooting, robbery, vandalism, or other crime taking place in our neighborhoods. Much of the crime is attributable to our young men and women. While we are searching for solutions to these problems, a proven deterrent to crime has already been uncovered . . . A Job! Please alert any young men and women in your circle to the opportunities available through the One Summer Chicago summer jobs program. Keep our children busy, and we’ll help keep them out of trouble.

It’s March Madness, and for college basketball, this is the Holy Grail. But here at the Endeleo Institute, we get excited about anything that has the word, “college” in front of it, because we too have some top seeds of our own that are moving on from high school to the next “round”: college life.

Check out the lineup:• Starting at Drake University is Calvin gousman from St. Rita High School• Starting at north Carolina A&T State University is Bailey haynes from Lincoln Park High

School• Starting at University of Missouri is Jarrett Mosely from Urban Prep High School

What was the game plan? Glad you asked. All of these outstanding young people participated in our Spring Break College Bus Tour “road trips” to get a true feel for the competition and determine which program was the best fit. Critically important, because African American college students struggle to matriculate and graduate within six years; thus, traveling with your peers (often for the first time in life) provides opportunities to bond as teammates. We know our kids can score, but in case they miss, at Endeleo we teach them how to rebound.

Next Sunday, we head to the State of Louisiana. But you still have a chance to make the team. Please stop in the Atrium and sign up for Louisiana, or next month’s tour to the State of north Carolina, home to you-know-who. (Hint: MJ)

Parents and Students: get in the game!
