Listen "Matthew 6:16-18 – Fasting"

Episode Synopsis

Fasting is having a resurgence in popularity in fitness circles right now, particularly intermittent fasting. In Scripture, we see Jesus warn us to beware of practicing our righteousness before people. The central section of the Sermon on the Mount focuses on Christian Piety and our religious practices: giving to the poor, prayer, and fasting. All of this is the proclamation of the inbreaking of Christ’s Kingdom that he established in the incarnation. It is present, and yet will come in fullness. This is what it means to live as citizens of that greater kingdom. This Sunday, we will be in Matthew 6:16-18 as we focus on fasting and what it looks like to fast in Christ's Kingdom. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠
