ROOT TO FLOURISH #14
Fasting for Whole(i)ness:
Preparing for God’s Shalom with Joshua Liem | FASTING02
Joel 2:1-15 NET
This Sunday, we dive into the profound biblical concept of shalom—a peace that goes beyond the absence of conflict to encompass wholeness, flourishing, and God’s perfect design. Through the ancient practice of fasting, we’ll explore how God refines and purifies our hearts, aligning us with His holiness and preparing us for the fullness of His kingdom. Join us as we seek the Prince of Peace together, longing for the day when everything is made whole in His love.

For reflection & discussion:
What comes to mind when you think of things in the world or your life that aren’t as they should be?
How does the image of a refining fire resonate with your understanding of God’s work in our lives?
The sermon discusses sin as a “parasitic fungus” (like in The Last of Us). How does this metaphor help you understand the nature of sin in your life?
What kind of church do you think we need to be to prepare for a potential revival or crisis in the future?
How can we as a community support one another in the practice of fasting and seeking God’s holiness?
