Locations & Times

SEMC

707 Talfourd St, Sarnia, ON N7T 1S1, Canada

Sunday 10:30 AM

Fasting is the abstinence from food and/or drink for the purpose of private and/or corporate devotion to God. Fasting is never commanded throughout the Bible. However, the example of fasting throughout the biblical history and in the life of Jesus Christ, is sufficient to challenge our own approach. It is always associated with and infers prayer (conversation with God).
Fasting is a means by which:

1. We deal with _______________ in our lives.




2. We _________________our need for God’s help.



3. Our spirit is __________________.



4. We are moved toward __________________ action.



5. We renew our _____________________ in God.
Challenge for this week: What have you learned about God today? How will your approach to prayer change? How might our community be different if people were willing to be more courageous in living their faith in Jesus?
