Episode 11 - Fasting Our Way to Joy

Fasting is purposely abstaining from food or other good things so that you can hear the voice of God more clearly.  While fasting has many physical benefits, the practice of fasting in the Christian church is generally to become more sensitive to God and grow in our faith.  The Lenten season prior to Easter every year is known as a period of fasting, and we can learn about our posture in fasting by learning more about the intent of that season.  It is a time of growth, preparation and joy.  Jesus fasted and implied that His followers would do so after He was gone from the earth.  Fasting is a helpful rhythm for us to learn about and practice.   Click to hear the sermon on Fasting from 03/06/22 (YouTube) Click to hear the sermon on Fasting from 03/06/22 (podcast)
