Starve the Flesh, Feed the Spirit | Matthew 4:1–11
Description
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He declared: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
In this message, Eric unpacks Matthew 4 to show how fasting teaches us to crucify the flesh and feast on Christ, the true Bread of Life. Fasting isn’t punishment—it’s pursuit. It’s letting go of control, resisting temptation, and finding our deepest satisfaction in Jesus.
🔥 In this message, you’ll learn:
✅ Why fasting starves the flesh but feeds the Spirit
✅ How Jesus modeled resisting temptation with God’s Word
✅ Why life is about more than food and drink—it points us to the Lord
✅ How to practice fasting as dependence, not performance
