    Jesus uses three contemporary examples to answer the question, "Why don't your disciples fast?"; In doing so, He explains the exclusiveness of the Kingdom of God.

    “Fast or Feast” Matthew 9:14-17 (Mark 2:18-22, Luke 5:33-39) To eat or not to eat; that is the question that is asked of Jesus. Matthew 9:14: “Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" The question ...read more

    Biblical Fasting

    Fasting has been misused by mystics and sometimes remained a mystery to many committed Christians. Although opinions are mixed on the issue, I believe we can carve out a Biblical position that, while perhaps incomplete, will lay a good foundation.

    Biblical Fasting (Matthew 9: 14-15) 1. This is perhaps the most awful pun you will hear. 2. Mahatma Gandhi went around barefoot quite often, and eventually his soles turned very tough and thick. Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more

    We are not boldly able to look straight at the face of kings and say, ‘look, this is what God is telling you’ because we chat more on face book rather than with God like Daniel!

    You are greatly loved! Daniel 9:3 ‘And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes..’ Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich ...read more

    Ezra the scribe knew his people needed to prepare their hearts for the difficult and dangerous journey ahead. In this sermon we look at why we as the church are called to fast and pray together, especially during the season of Lent.

    A FAMILY ON THE MOVE For our family, there is rarely any experience more stressful than preparing for a trip back to Iowa to visit our parents. The kids are always excited about the prospect of staying in motels, of visiting with Grandma and Grandpa, of going out to eat at restaurants, and of ...read more

    Fasting is often the forgotten key in prayer and spiritual warfare. Yet saints both in the Old and New Testaments utilised it for spiritual breakthrough and victory over the enemy. And so can we.

    I want to talk to you about fasting under these four headings: The importance of biblical fasting The individuals of biblical fasting The impact of biblical fasting The intricacies of biblical fasting Each of these can take hours to unpack but I want to do an overview of each and hopefully ...read more

    A warning against mixing things that differ.

    THE QUESTION OF FASTING. Matthew 9:14-17. It is a strange thing that the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus to ask, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” (Matthew 9:14). It is unfortunately typical of religious people to be performing some ritual ...read more

    We sow what we reap so we need to be sowing good seeds and praying and fasting puts in in the right attitude to hear from the Lord.

    Sow Fast Selected verses Prayer- Introduction- This morning I have a clever title for the sermon called Sow Fast. Sow… not sew. Sowing is talked about in the Bible as a process of planting something and watching it grow. Sowing seeds, you expect a crop of whatever seeds you planted. You ...read more

    The fact that no one has done it, doesn’t mean it cannot be done.

    It takes me back almost 2.5 years ago when we planted the church in Manila. We were anxious. We did it because we believed that this was God’s direction. Yet, we didn’t quite know what to expect. It is a big step out of our comfort zone. But, as a Church, we pushed some walls down. The fact that no ...read more

    Fasting is a rewarding discipline in that it brings us closer to the "face" of God.

    1. FASTING TOGETHER: THE MINNESOTA GRASSHOPPER SWARM In Minnesota, during the summer of 1876, there was a swarm of grasshoppers destroying the crops. There was a fear that the grasshoppers would return, so Governor John S. Pillsbury proclaimed a day of prayer and fasting on April 26, 1877, urging ...read more

    If we want to know the benefits of fasting, we only need to look at the life of Daniel, a young man who fasted regularly.

    Scripture Reading: Matthew 9:14-15 Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?”Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more
