The Purpose of Fasting | ryan peterson

03-17-24Fasting resource to follow along with us: https://gracechurchsp.org/14-days-of-prayer-and-fasting-2024-prayer-points/We are in a season of Seeking God with our whole heart. That means we spend time in His presence through the reading of His Word, spending time in authentic community, confessing sin, and spending extended times in prayer and practices like fasting. Seeking God is the way forward. It’s the direction we are heading in, but it requires a removal of the weight and the sin for our journey in this life. Fasting helps us to rid our hearts of extra weight and removes the sin by first exposing it. Fasting is a willing practice that humbles our hearts, takes our shallow lives deeper, and breaks up the selfish areas. Fasting prepares our hearts to seek God, read His Word, and pray. Let us commit to seeking God through fasting together for two weeks leading up to Easter.You can find this weeks sermon notes and groups guide here: https://gracechurchsp.org/groupsguide/If you're ready to begin a relationship with Jesus, click here: https://www.gracechurchsp.org/jesusTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: http://www.gracechurchsp.org/giveFill the city with Jesus.
