Show Notes

Fasting is a practice that can feel so archaic in our modern day but is actually very strategic. It's the ancient path that has been practiced by the people of God for thousands of years. Fasting is one of the most relevant and necessary practices because it reminds us that we are not sustained by the world but by God alone. In this message, Pastor John Stickl walks through the practice of fasting. We learn that fasting is abstaining from food in order to seek God; we fast from food to feast on God. We see from the life of Jesus that He begins His ministry and finishes His life with the practice of fasting, and fasting didn't make Jesus weak, it made Him strong. We also learn that our reward for fasting is more of God, and sometimes we have to abstain from the things of the world in order to remind ourselves we are sustained by God. So, how is God inviting you to arrange and rearrange your life around the practice of fasting rather than our flesh or this world?
