In our fourth week of our series on fasting we are looking at what it means to stand with the poor through fasting. Identifying with more than just our own personal situation, but the situation of the humanity we are a part of. So many live without, have difficulties, and struggles, and it can be easy to remove ourselves from that when we have more than enough.

In our third week of our series on fasting we are looking at fasting to amplify our prayers. God, throughout scripture, honors when his people fast and pray. We don't always have to know why, simply that we are invited to partake in something that God honors and blesses. Jesus tells us, "When you fast..." our Father sees and rewards.

In this second week of our series, When You Fast... we are looking at how fasting aids in our lives to lead us toward holiness. God IS Holy, God MAKES us Holy, yet, God invites us to BE Holy.

In a new series, "When You Fast..." we are looking at how to be a disciple of Jesus in the practice of fasting, while being part of a community who fasts together. In this message we look at what it means to fast, the biblical and historical basis for it, as well as the intent of offering ourselves to Jesus in fasting.
