True Fasting | Righteous Living
Shared on: Jan 30, 2023
This sermon collection comes from the 58th chapter of the Book of Isaiah. The people of Israel are complaining to God that it seems as if their fasting is for nothing. If we are sacrificing as much as we are and living such a pious life, why isn't God answering our petitions? This can be a question not only the ancient church asks but the modern church as well. What is God's answer? Essentially, the Lord is declaring to them that their supposed piety is nothing while they live such abominable lives before him. They do not care for the poor, they fight with and oppress one another. Exhort your congregation from God's Word what true and Biblical fasting looks like--life lived in submission and obedience to God.
