Your strongest desire and your deepest desire are almost never the same thing. To crucify the flesh is to be set free to truly live by the Spirit. In this message from Matthew 6, Pastor Philip Miller shows how fasting helps us starve the flesh and feast on God. Discover why learning to say no to pizza helps you master anger and lust.
This is part three of the sermon, "When You Fast."
