As a kingdom minded church, we believe that the ultimate fulfillment of our purpose is to be vessels of His grace; giving of ourselves just as He completely gave Himself up for us. The life of a Christ Follower is not about being a spectator for a couple of hours on Sunday. Rather, we open the flood gates of heaven when we sacrificially give of our talents and time.

Early church Fasting:
Acts 13:2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Acts 14:23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.

Fasting is not if, but when.
The main goal about Fasting is not the food you give up but the focus we put on spiritual growth.
Focus while Fasting:
Make it Quiet
Make it Personal
Make it Worship
Make time for Prayer
Make time for Devotion

Fasting is your action for your prayer.
