Rediscovering the Christmas SeasonSample
Fast
Exposure: Read the passage about fasting. Christmas is generally a time of feasting. Take at least a day to fast from something.
Exploration: Why do you think Jesus asked us to fast? What kind of fasting does Isaiah say the Lord requires?
Expression: Why do you think it is so difficult for people to make this a habit? How can you incorporate fasting into your regular habits of worship?
Experience: Journal about your experiences with fasting. What did you learn? How did it change you? Consider joining a large group of believers who set aside the first 21 days of the New Year to fast.
