April 2 | Session 13: Matthew 6: 16 – 18 Fasting
Matthew 6:16–18 invites us to rethink fasting, not as a visible act of sacrifice, but as a quiet, inward turning toward God. Jesus cautions against practicing faith for recognition, pointing instead to a kind of discipline that is personal, even hidden. Fasting, in this sense, is less about what we give up and more about what we make space for. It becomes an intentional pause that reveals what we rely on, what distracts us, and what we truly hunger for beneath the surface.

Intentional discipleship through thought, word, and deed.
This group is designed by imperfect men for imperfect men who are committed to fostering their own growth and that of the community. They will use Jesus’ blueprint for discipleship, as laid out in Matthew 5-7, to take purposeful action and engage in spiritual contemplation.
We meet thrice monthly:
- Twice to study and share fellowship
- Fellowship, group Learning, self reflection, small group sessions
- Meet Thursday’s of the month at Saint Barnabas (~1.5 hours)
- Once to take action and share fellowship
- Service projects for the church and parishioners in need
- Meet one Saturday of each month (~1-2 hours)
