How Can Fasting Help Us Get Closer to God?

Summary

This sermon explores the spiritual practice of fasting, defining it as a voluntary period of not eating. It highlights how fasting, drawing on examples from the Old and New Testaments such as Jesus' 40-day fast, serves as a deliberate discomfort to remind us to turn our attention toward God. The practical takeaway is that fasting, used periodically, can help us become more mindful of God's presence and deepen our connection with Him.
