Mission City Church w/ Pastor Josh Hershey
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus proclaimed, “When you fast…” (Matt. 6:16). He assumed His followers would fast after His earthly ministry was complete and He ascended into Heaven (Matt. 9:15). Jesus fasted (Matt. 4:2). Anna fasted (Luke 2:37). Cornelius fasted (Acts 10:30). The leaders at Antioch fasted (Acts 13:2). Paul wrote that he was “in fastings often” (2 Cor. 11:27). The Old Testament is also filled with stories of fasting (Ex. 34:28, Lev. 16:31, Judg. 20:26; 1 Sam. 7:6; 2 Chr. 20:3; Ezra 8:21; Esther 4:16; Isaiah 58; Jonah 3:5; etc.). Join as we dig into the Word and discover why God wants us to fast, the different kinds of fasts in Scripture, and the impact fasting has on our lives.
