FEASTING AND FASTING

BIBLE BASIS:  Daniel 1:5, 8-17, Matthew 6:16-18

BIBLE TRUTH:  The Scripture teaches that fasting is good stewardship that gives physical and spiritual benefits.

MEMORY VERSE:  "But thou, when thou fastest anoint thine head and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father, which teeth in secret; and thy Father,  which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly" (Matthew 6:17-18).

LESSON AIM:  By the end of the lesson, we will: 

     KNOW and understand  what Jesus said about fasting and those who fast; 

     FEEL the value of being connected with God while fasting; and 

     PRACTICE a regular discipline of seeking God by fasting.
