Matt. 6:1-18 & Isaiah 58
Fasting is NOT a very popular topic. And when it does get addressed, the treatments are often mystical or superstitious or just plain fiction.
Our Church has the opportunity each year to conduct a sunrise service Easter Sunday morning at a local cemetery. We usually see several hundred people – many of whom seldom if ever attend Church the rest of the year. We have a burden to have the Gospel proclaimed with unusual power and effectiveness and so we are asking our own folks to fast and pray to that end. That the dead will be raised through the Gospel, even as we celebrate Christ’s resurrection.
Below, is a VERY brief primer we’ve done to prepare people for that fast. Perhaps it will be useful for you as well.
Please note this is a SCALED down version of a study I did years ago – but I believe the content can be very helpful.
