Secret Church 19: Prayer, Fasting, and the Pursuit of God
We were created to know and enjoy God, and to depend on him for our every need. Sadly, though, we often look to the things of this world to satisfy us, and we are constantly tempted to rely on ourselves rather than on God’s wisdom and power. In Secret Church 19, Pastor David Platt explains that all of Scripture invites us to pursue God through prayer and fasting.
Beginning in Genesis and moving all the way through Revelation, David Platt shows us that God has designed prayer and fasting not only to meet our daily needs but more importantly so that we might find greater intimacy and satisfaction in him. We’ll also see the critical role of prayer and fasting in carrying out the mission Christ gave to his church—to make disciples of all nations.
