The Practice of Fasting

In this message from our Foundations series, we dive into the biblical practice of fasting: what it is, why Jesus assumed His followers would do it, and how it awakens a deeper hunger for His presence.

Throughout Scripture, God’s people fasted. Jesus Himself began His ministry with fasting, and He taught, “When you fast…” not if.

Fasting exposes our disordered desires, retrains our appetites, and reminds us that true satisfaction is only found in Him. It puts us face-to-face with our weakness to open us to God’s transforming power.
