This sermon presents fasting as a vital, humble, and God-centered practice rooted in the biblical example of Ezra, who led his people in fasting before a perilous journey to Jerusalem. It emphasizes that fasting is not a performance for human recognition but a sincere expression of creaturely dependence, a confession of weakness, and a deliberate seeking of God's will, protection, and glory. The preacher underscores that fasting should be a regular rhythm in the life of the church, not merely an emergency response, and is to be paired with prayer and Scripture meditation as a means of deepening spiritual dependence. Drawing from Old and New Testament examples, including Jesus' 40-day fast, the sermon illustrates how fasting strengthens faith, resists temptation, and aligns the heart with God's purposes. Ultimately, fasting is portrayed not as a means of earning favor, but as a response to God's grace, trusting in His providence and seeking His honor above all.
