Fasting for the New Year January 12, 2010

This weekend, Ed Young began a brand new series called Details. With this new series, Fellowship Church began a 21-Day Daniel Fast. Daniel made a decision not to eat the king's food as an outward symbol of an inward commitment he had made to God.

The Daniel Fast is a partial fast, which means that some common things will be eliminated from the daily diet, but there are still generous options available. The focus of this fast is eating fruits and vegetables that are pure and simple. Fellowship Church has posted a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid.

If you are considering a fast at your church, you may want to check out the Larger Than Life series.

For more information on fasting, check out the Jentezen Franklin's  Fasting Kit  stemming from the New York Times best-selling book Fasting. It is perfect for both individuals and small groups interested in gaining understanding, growing their faith, and drawing closer to God. This program involves a Fasting Book, Fasting Journal, DVD and Fasting Study Guide.
