21-DAY CHURCHWIDE FAST

January 1–21

​

Sometimes after a busy season, we need to slow down, rest, and set our focus on the Lord again. Realigning our priorities with God’s heart and making time to listen to His voice are important tasks that often take the back burner, and that’s why, as a church, we are setting aside 21 days to fast and pray.

​

Please pray about how God may want you to fast. If your health allows, consider fasting one meal a day or perhaps a certain type of food. Or you may want to prayerfully consider fasting things that can often consume a great amount of time in your daily life, like television, nonessential email, or social media. We encourage you to ask the Lord what He may want you to give up for the 21 days to fully dedicate time to reading God’s Word, praying, and listening to His direction for your life, your family, or the church in the upcoming year.

Jesus came with a dual mission - to save the lost, but also to bring God's judgment on unbelievers. Just as fire purges and purifies, Christ's gospel either saves people or condemns based on their response. Jesus bore God's judgment for believers by dying on the cross. But unbelievers will face judgment after death. Jesus warns against lacking spiritual discernment of the times and failing to see the danger of rejecting him.

Dr. Michael Youssef teaches on the profound meaning of the word "sincere," tracing its roots to the Roman Empire's deceptive practices with marble. By examining Luke chapter 12, Dr. Youssef emphasizes the pervasive nature of hypocrisy in society, likening hypocrites to actors. Stressing the importance of truth in a world filled with deception, he urges believers to focus on three non-negotiables: honoring the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In an environment where false teachings can easily sway many, the central message is clear: prioritize and uphold the teachings of the triune God to steer clear of hypocrisy's influence. The ultimate reward? Eternal protection and blessings in Jesus, regardless of worldly challenges.

Dr. Michael Youssef tackles the question "Who will be saved and go to heaven?" He explains that only those who repent and believe in Jesus will enter heaven. Good works, church attendance, or simply calling yourself a Christian is not enough. Salvation requires surrendering your sin and pride to Christ. Dr. Youssef vividly describes hell and warns against false gospels that deviate from biblical truth. He proclaims the uncompromising message that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
