The cross is such an ironic symbol.

The Right Way To Fast Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 2, 2023

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?

In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more
