January Series & 21 Day Fast
Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Join us as we purpose to put God first in 2012. We're kicking off the year with a 21 day fast, beginning January 1st. We believe there are miracles and breakthrough in store as we corporately fast, pray, and read God's Word. Fasting is a spiritual discipline designed to better connect us with God. It’s all about aligning ourselves with God and what He really wants to do. As a church, we are fasting together in order to deepen our relationship with God as well as get in step with His plan and purpose for us during this coming year.
Over the next 21 days, we will substitute our regular food intake with those disciplines that help us better connect with God—reading the Bible, praying and journaling. The overall goal is to experience a genuine hunger for spending time with God.
If you're unable to fast food, consider fasting from television, social media, or something else that may be a distraction in your life. The type of fast you choose is up to you, and God will honour your sacrifice. It's not about legalism, but about extending our faith and seeking God in a very real, physical way.
Our corporate Bible reading plan, beginning January 1st, is here:
