Some people say Jesus really rose from the dead.

Why do they believe that?

And if it’s true… would it change anything?
We’re creating space to explore this — not to pressure, but to think.

Welcome to the Week of Prayer and Fasting!

Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful practices of Jesus. It is one of the best ways we have to integrate our entire person, including our body, around God. Jesus began his life’s work with 40 days of fasting, a practice he continued throughout his lifetime. So,it makes sense that we would follow his example and incorporate fasting into our discipleship.

We really believe this is arguably the MOST IMPORTANT WEEK of the entire ministry year. We need God’s help to do anything on campus! If we are serious about our pursuit of God, the lost, and unity within our movement, we must live in full dependence on Him.

The Goal: Jesus himself! And that others may also know Him.

“I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” (John 4:32)

Over the next four days, we will cover the four reasons we fast:

1. To offer ourselves to Jesus
2. To grow in holiness
3. To amplify our prayers
4. To stand with the poor
5. To Feast

But remember: The ultimate aim of fasting is to get in touch with our hunger for God. When we fast, we awaken our body and soul to its deep yearning for life with God. We become able to say with Jesus, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” (John 4:32)

So, in the time you’d normally be grocery cooking, eating, or cleaning, or just as you go about your day to day , give yourself to prayer. Enjoy God’s company & let your desire for food point you to Jesus as you open your heart to him

Come join us in person to pray together & make sure you check out our stories for more on each days!
