Part 1: How to Pray and Fast

Summary

In this sermon, the pastor introduces a new series called "Follower" that explores the life of Christ from Christmas to Easter, focusing on discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus. The key scripture reference is 1 Corinthians 11:1, "Follow me as I follow Christ," which emphasizes the importance of being a follower before becoming a leader, with a specific focus on prayer and its authentic practice. Drawing from Matthew 6, the sermon highlights that true followers choose invisible power through genuine, private prayer over seeking visible praise, challenging listeners to develop a meaningful prayer life that prioritizes connection with God over public recognition.
