The True Fast of Christ's Holy Church

March 21, 2021 - Why do we fast for 40 days during Lent? Why is it that our Lord has had His people fast for periods of time both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant? In this sermon we look at our Lord modeling this 40-day fast. More importantly we see the results of His fast; the results every Christian can experience now in their own lives. Through fasting and prayer we are strengthened by the grace of God to walk in Christ's victory over every temptation Satan can bring our way. We also hear the words of God through the great Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 58 regarding the true fast that God desires of us all and the blessings that come from that very fast.
