Lenten Prayer Service: FASTING

March 12, 2025 | Uncategorized

On Wednesday, March 12, we gathered in the Sanctuary for our first Lenten Prayer Service.  Pastor Steve Flint led a short study on the spiritual practice of Fasting.

 

Benefits of Fasting

    1. Trains us to say no to our flesh.
    2. Reminds us of our weakness.
    3. Increases our focus on God and centers us in Christ.

 

“Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God.” 
J O H N   P I P E R

“Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.”
D A L L A S   W I L L A R D
