What if fasting isn’t about conquering your body but opening your hands in submission and surrender?
This week’s sermon explores fasting not as a ritual for results but as a response to focus on Jesus. From Moses and Elijah to Jesus in the wilderness, fasting has always been about remembering God, releasing control, and hungering for the Bread of Life.
🔥 In this message, you’ll discover: ✅ Why fasting isn’t for “spiritual superheroes” but for forgetful disciples ✅ The difference between fasting (food) and abstinence (distractions)—and why both matter ✅ How fasting helps us let go of control and re-focus on Jesus ✅ Why true fasting always leads to feasting on Christ, the Bread of Life. ✅ THE BREAD THREAD!
📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:16–18 • Deuteronomy 8:3 • Joel 2:12 • John 6:35 • Galatians 3:13 • John 14:6
