Firm Foundations: Fasting

We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. In this message from our Firm Foundation series, we look at two foundational truths of the Christian life: we need one another, and we need God. Through Hebrews 10, we discover the importance of biblical community; encouraging one another, praying for one another, and spurring one another on toward love and good deeds. An isolated Christian is a vulnerable Christian, because God designed us to grow together as the body of Christ. We also explore the spiritual discipline of fasting and what it means to deny ourselves in order to seek God. Fasting reminds us that good things can make terrible gods, and that ultimately, God is better than our appetites, comfort, and desires. The goal isn't simply to go without food; it is to become more hungry for God. Bottom Line: We were never meant to follow Jesus alone.
