This Wednesday night lesson continues the series on Spiritual Disciplines.
Although fasting is often mentioned in the Scripture, and modeled by Jesus and the disciples, it is not a discipline that is typically practiced today.
In this lesson, we explore the value of fasting, and discover why God considers it an important part of our Christian walk.
“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Matthew 6:16-18 (NIV)
