Discover the transformative power of fasting, a spiritual discipline rooted in Matthew 6:16-18. Jesus teaches that fasting should be a private act of devotion, not a public display. Historically practiced by figures like Moses and Esther, fasting helps believers deepen their communion with God, grow in holiness, and align with His mission. Learn about the different types of fasting, from traditional food abstinence to modern adaptations like social media fasts. Understand the spiritual benefits, such as awakening our hunger for God and standing in solidarity with the poor. As we enter a week of unbroken prayer, consider incorporating fasting into your spiritual practice to enhance your relationship with God and attune to His voice.


This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
