Fasting

This week Pastor Jared discussed the practice of Fasting, its history, and how it's played into the life of the church in the past (and can impact us in the present). Below are some questions to reflect on or discuss with others throughout your week:

Had you heard of fasting before this message? If so, did your understanding of it change at all from before after hearing this message?

Why do you think early Jews kept the practice of fasting if it was never an explicit command?

Scot McKnight writes about how we tend to view our bodies as Monster, Celebrity, or Cornucopia. Did you relate to any of the explanations of these? Why or why not?

Do you feel like your physical habits reflect your long term desires? Why or why not?
