    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,528 views

    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

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    Every believer can enhance their prayer life by incorporating the practice of fasting, thus multiplying their effectiveness in spiritual matters.

    In any building project, having the right tools and knowing how to use them is crucial for success. Just as a skilled builder brings a van full of tools to a construction site, believers have been given a powerful tool by God to enhance their prayer life: fasting. Unfortunately, many Christians ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the teachings of Jesus as outlined in Matthew 6, providing guidance for the New Year.

    Today, I want to talk about a section of the Beatitudes found in Matthew 6. This portion of scripture is not more important than the rest of the Beatitudes, but I believe that the Spirit of God is leading me to discuss it as a foundation for the rest of 2014. Matthew 6:1-4 says, "Be careful not to ...read more

    The Right Way To Fast Series

     | 2,741 views

    This message looks at what Jesus has to say about our physical appearance when fasting. The way we present ourselves physically can speak volumes about the inner man. Who are we trying to impress when we fast? Jesus or the people around us?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Right Way to Fast.” Jesus both practiced fasting and taught about it; and yet, fasting is something that is often feared and misunderstood. In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more

    Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. He teaches us to practice our faith in private, not for public approval, but to build a solid core of self-giving love.

    Today we're going to talk about how Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. You know, the kind of religion that's all about showing off and not about what's really going on inside of us. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine a cup. Now, this cup looks super shiny ...read more

    Fasting is a spiritual discipline for inward communion with God.

    A. INTRODUCTION: MATTHEW 6:16-18 “When you fast, don’t make it obvious to others, as the hypocrites who try to look mournful or disheveled like they didn’t comb their hair, or wash their face. Don’t try to get people to admire you for fasting. That is the only reward you will get. But when you ...read more

    Go! And Live For An Audience Of One: The Secret Life Of A True Disciple - Matthew 6:1-18 Series

     | 440 views

    In the Christian life, there is only one audience that matters—our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches us to live for the Audience of One. He warns us not to perform righteousness before others but to pursue a life that pleases God alone.

    Go! And Live for an Audience of One: The Secret Life of a True Disciple - Matthew 6:1-18 Introduction: Living for the Audience of One There’s an old story about a young violinist who practised day and night for years. One evening, he gave a recital in a packed concert hall. When he finished, the ...read more

    Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

    Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more

     | 341 views

    Fasting is a biblical way to quiet our hearts, humble our souls, and make room to hear God’s voice—bringing revelation, deliverance, protection, repentance, and spiritual strength to those who hunger and thirst for Him.

    Fasting for a Breakthrough “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” Psalms 42:1-2 There are moments in our walk with Christ when we become desperate—truly desperate—to hear the voice ...read more

    The people of Nineveh fasted and repented of their sinful ways at the preaching of Jonah. Fasting is a spiritual discipline, which helps us set aside physical food to spend time with God so that we are strengthened on the inside and can experience genuine transformation in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:4-5, Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!" The people of Nineveh believed God's message. So they decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from the greatest to the least, ...read more

    Our look at the Sermon on the Mount continues as we read about Jesus' teachings on good works, the importance of authentic prayer, and the futility of worry.

    Matthew 6 teaches about the life of faith that should characterize a true follower of God. In this chapter, Jesus stresses the importance of proper motives about giving, prayer, and fasting; three common and legitimate ways to practice righteousness which can become easily compromised due to ...read more
