Making Room for God - 21 Days of Fasting and Feasting
We don’t enter this season flippantly or mechanically. We’re not just going to go through religious motions. Our heart is to encounter God in a fresh, life-changing way which enables us to be with Him and become like Him, all while moving toward our remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the supreme act of self-denial, and the source of real change and real life.
Fasting isn’t magic. We aren’t somehow leveraging God with our performance. We are denying our flesh to make room for God to be God and do God-like stuff in us as we feast upon his presence: to guide, comfort, encourage, forgive, empower and change us.
We have prepared a devotional guide - a resource for each day of this 21-day journey. It is a tool that we hope will connect you more intimately with God. Every Sunday will be an introduction to each section. Then, for each of the next six days, we provide a biblical focus, a devotional thought, a few questions for reflection, and finally, some prayer prompts for you to use. You can pick up the guide at church or find an electronic version by clicking the button below.
The 21 Days of Fasting and Feasting will move us into Holy Week. During that week the Prayer Room will be open 24 hours/day from Monday to Friday. We encourage you to Make Room for God and register for a slot or two in the prayer room. It will conclude with our Good Friday service on April 18!
If you need some help coming up with your plan, please reach out to your Community Group leader, a staff member or an elder. All our leaders are glad to be a sounding board as you seek to determine how the Lord would have you engage this season of fasting and feasting.
May God richly use this season in our lives individually and collectively as a church to do something that only He can do – to draw us near and to change our lives.
