What The Bible Says To Know & Do
FBCW
35 episodes
4 days ago
Have you ever met someone who knows the Bible backward and forwards but lives like none of it is really true? What about someone who seeks to live like Jesus but has very little idea about what he taught? The Bible tells us that neither of these things ought to be. Genuine Christians should all have a deep desire to know the truth of Scripture and do the things it commands. All Christians need to grow in both of these areas, what we know and what we do. Many of us tend to be stronger in one area than the other. That's why we here at FBCW are starting the Know and Do podcast. We'll discuss various areas of Christian growth and how they apply today, like how to properly interpret the Bible and help others do the same. Understand systems of theology, like God's attributes, the nature of the church, and Jesus' humanity and divinity, and how all these things affect your everyday life. This podcast is for church leaders and teachers, small group facilitators, everyday Christians who want to grow in their faith, and even non-Christians who want a more robust understanding of the Bible. God made each and every one of us, and He desires that we all know the greatest things about Him and that we do everything that He laid out for our good in the Bible. That's the Know and Do podcast.

Fasting

Welcome to another episode of the Know and Do podcast, where we seek to train people to know God deeply and do the things that bring Him the most glory. In this episode, we explore the spiritual discipline of fasting. Building on a previous lesson about prayer, we now dive into what fasting is, why it matters, and how to practice it biblically.


1. What is Fasting?

Biblical Definition: Refraining from food and/or drink to draw closer to God.


2. Why Should I Fast?

Biblical Expectation: Matthew 6:16-17 – Jesus says, "When you fast," implying that it is an expected practice.


3. Biblical Reasons for Fasting

• Strengthening prayer life (Ezra 8:23, Nehemiah, Daniel, Esther, Paul & Barnabas)

• Seeking God's guidance (Judges 20:26, Acts 14:23)

• Expressing grief (1 Samuel 31:13, 2 Samuel 1:11-12)

• Repentance (Jonah 3:5-8)

• Seeking deliverance or protection (2 Chronicles 20:3-4, Esther 4:16)

• Humbling before God (1 Kings 21:27-29)

• Expressing concern for God's work (Nehemiah 1:3-4)

• Caring for others (Isaiah 58:3-7)

• As a reminder to worship (Matthew 4:4, John 6:51)


4. How to Fast Practically: Consider 1) What to give up, 2) how long to fast, 3) how often to fast, 4) who is involved.
