FASTING
This is a 5 week, churchwide practice, where we will dive into the spiritual discipline of fasting. Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and one of the best ways we have to integrate our entire person, including our body, around God.
Throughout this practice, we will cover the four reasons we fast:
• To offer ourselves to Jesus
• To grow in holiness
• To amplify our prayers
• To stand with the poor
The ultimate aim of fasting is to get in touch with our hunger for God. Hunger
is the state of wanting or needing something you do not have. When we fast, we awaken our body and soul to its deep yearning for life with the Father. We become able to say with Jesus, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.” (John 4:32)
