Purpose Through Prayer and Fasting

Summary

The sermon focuses on establishing a purposeful approach to the new year through four key areas: more purpose, peace, passion, and connection with people. Centered on Matthew chapter 6, the message emphasizes prayer and fasting as spiritual disciplines that should be practiced privately and sincerely, focusing on God's perspective rather than human recognition. The practical takeaway is a call for 100% participation in a church-wide initiative to grow in faith through intentional prayer, Bible engagement, creating margin, discovering personal gifts, and investing in relationships.
