Fasting is one of our 12 Pathways that we believe is a vital part of our life as a disciple of Jesus. If you have never experienced a physical fast from food, have questions about how to get started, or have fasted many times before, this two part message will inspire you, inform you, and will tackle some of the most common misperceptions about fasting. These two sermons are based on a book by Dr. Elmer Towns entitled Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough. We will examine Isaiah 58:6-8 to explore nine Biblical fasts that God reveals to us through this Old Testament prophet. When you subject your body to hunger, you are taming one of the most powerful appetites related to our human experience. Bringing this one appetite under control is a gateway to the submission of all other appetites and a pathway to the virtues of Christ flourishing in us!
