And When Ye Fast (Part 2)

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical practice of fasting, emphasizing that it should be done sincerely and secretly for God rather than for public recognition or self-righteousness. The preacher highlights Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6 about fasting with humility and contrasts it with the hypocritical fasting condemned in Isaiah 58, which lacks true repentance and mercy. The message calls believers to fast as a spiritual discipline that expresses dependence on God, fosters humility, and aligns with righteous living, including forgiving others and caring for the needy.
