    The Right Way To Fast Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 2, 2023

     | 2,793 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

    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

    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

    Fasting For A Spiritual Breakthrough

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 25, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 400 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

    A brief homily on repentance

    Good EVENING and thank you all for coming out. I really enjoy that our lectionary gives me a lesson, right before the sermon, which seems to question the whole purpose of having an Ash Wednesday service. It really doesn’t, of course. But it is picked to make sure that we work through the idea of ...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

    This is a continuation of the teachings of the Lord Jesus gives in His "Sermon on the Mount" as written in Matthew 5-7.

    After the Lord Jesus presented the "model prayer" (vv.9-15) as an aide in helping us talk to God the Father in love, devotion, and faith, He turned His attention to the issue of fasting or abstaining from food or a particular activity for a period of time as an act of worship and ...read more

    Explore the necessity, purpose, and benefits of fasting as a means to express our deep desire for God and align our lives with His will, following Jesus' example and teachings.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into a topic that might not be the most popular, but it's something that Jesus talked about and practiced in His life: fasting.
