Fasting in Worship

Series: Worship is...

Category: Gospel, The Church

Speaker: Nic Hill

In this sermon, we looked at how fasting is deeply connected to worship. In the Old Testament, fasting was closely related to grieving or repentance of sin. In the New Testament, fasting became a spiritual discipline or pathway that leads to a deeper, more personal relationship with the One who created and redeems us. Fasting allows us to slow down and be more present and aware of our needs as well as how we have replaced God with idols of the heart. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, God reveals our brokenness and gives us Himself. When we receive His profound love, we wholeheartedly respond with gratitude and worship.
