On Monday, January 13th, 2025, Onechurch began a collective journey: seven intentional days of fasting. But why fasting? Why has our church chosen to dedicate this week to such a practice? And why should it matter to you in your contemporary, fast-paced life? In this inspiring message, Pastor Filmore thoughtfully unpacks the biblical foundation of fasting, its relevance for today, and its dynamic in transforming not only our spiritual lives but also our daily priorities. More than a tradition, fasting is a powerful opportunity to: Align your decisions with your deepest intentions for growth and transformation. Push back against instant gratification to rediscover true sustenance and purpose. Starve the flesh and feed the Spirit. Quiet distractions and create space for clarity, divine connection, and intimacy with God. Rely on God's strength during challenges and realign with His purpose through intentional surrender. It isn't just about giving something up; it's about making room for what truly matters. It is an act of worship and statement that God is the primary voice in our lives. As Pastor Filmore noted, fasting is like "noise-cancelling headphones for your soul." Join Onechurch this week in renewing focus, reclaiming time, and experiencing the transformative power of seeking Jesus with intentionality. We encourage you to reflect on your journey and share your story.    Scripture References:  Matthew 6, verse 1 and 16-18  2 Corinthians 4, verse 7 Matthew 4, verse 2 Galatians 5, verses 13-24 Matthew 4, verse 4 Nehemiah 1, verses 3 and 4 Ezra 8, verse 21 Mark 9, verse 29 Acts 13, verse 2    [Connect with Onechurch] www.onechurchnw.co | Instagram | Youtube | TikTok
