And When Ye Fast

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical practice of fasting as taught by Jesus in Matthew 6:16-18, emphasizing fasting done in secret to God rather than for public recognition. The preacher reflects on personal experiences with fasting, its biblical examples from both Old and New Testaments, and its spiritual significance as a means of humbling oneself and seeking God's help. The message encourages believers to understand fasting as a spiritual discipline that aligns the heart with God, not as a legalistic or prideful act.
