Starve the Flesh, Feed the Spirit | Fasting and the Bread of Life
Description
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
