Fasting in the Bible serves as a spiritual discipline for seeking closeness to God, expressing repentance, and demonstrating dependence on Him. It is often practiced during times of prayer, mourning, or when seeking divine guidance. Fasting is not merely abstaining from food but is intended to redirect focus from physical needs to spiritual growth. It reflects humility before God, acknowledging His sovereignty and inviting His presence into one's life. Through fasting, believers humble themselves, seek forgiveness, and align their will with God's purposes, deepening their faith and reliance on His provision and direction.

And His presence with us in the fire gives us hope.

About This Series
The New Testament church was a powerful movement of people who loved each other and shared the hope of Jesus with people around them every day. Because of the way they moved together, not only were people saved every day, but thousands of years later we continue to carry on their mission as we stand on their shoulders. This series will examine five hallmarks that defined this early church, and help us focus on how to make sure these same hallmarks define us as part of the movement that Jesus commissioned and sent out to carry his good news to all people - to the ends of the earth.
