John 10:10 I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, until it
overflows].
As we launch into 2026, we look to God with great expectation and hope to experience His
abundant life. In order to move us forward in our mission—we love God, we love people, we
live like Jesus (i.e., being disciples), we will begin the year with a time of fasting (feasting) on God's Word,
fasting from food and abstaining from anything else that hinders our efforts to become more
like Christ.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves
from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfec6ng holiness out of reverence for God.
WHO? The entire Bible Center Church Family (and anyone else you invite to join you!)
WHAT? We will launch 2026 with a year-long feast on the Old Testament Scriptures and a 21-day fast from food.
The reading plan can be found on the "Bible Reading" tab here on bcpgh.info.
WHEN? Fasting—Sunup Monday, January 5th, 2026 – Sundown Saturday, January 24th
WHERE? Make an appointment to meet with God at a specific time and place every day.
WHY? We are fasting in order to deepen our relationship with God and to walk in step with His
plan and purpose for our individual lives and for our church. One way to do this is to redirect
our food source. The overall goal is to spend more time with God, to experience a genuine hunger for Him, to hear His voice,
get in position to hear from our GPS (God's Powerful Spirit), to learn HIS WILL, HIS WAY.
HOW? This is accomplished through substituting our regular food intake with Bible
reading, prayer and meditation.
