Title: Fasting Like Christ

Speaker: Walter Colace

Passages: Matthew 6:16-18

DESCRIPTION:

What if one of the most overlooked spiritual disciplines could help you grow closer to God? In this message from our Becoming Like Christ series, Pastor Walter Colace explores Jesus' teaching on fasting in Matthew 6:16–18 and why this practice matters for every follower of Christ. Biblical fasting is more than going without food—it's intentionally setting aside a physical desire to pursue a deeper relationship with God through prayer, humility, and surrender. Discover why Jesus expects His followers to fast, how our motivations matter, and how fasting prepares us spiritually, helps us seek God's direction, opens our hearts to His Word, and draws us closer to Him in times of desperation. Whether you've practiced fasting before or are just learning about it, this message will encourage you to make fasting a meaningful part of your walk with Jesus. When we hunger for more of God, we discover that He alone can satisfy our deepest longings.
