Turning Over A New Leaf: Fasting

Pastor Tara continues her series “Turning over a New Leaf” exploring the spiritual disciplines. This week’s sermon is a study on the biblical practice of fasting.

Scripture: Matthew 9:10-15

“Our growth in grace, our joy, our usefulness, all depend upon our union with Christ. It is by communion with Him, daily, hourly, by abiding in Him,that we are to grow in grace. He is not only the Author, but the Finisher of our faith. It is Christ first and last and always. He is to be with us, not only at the beginning and the end of our course, but at every step of the way. David says, “I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” Psalm 16:8." Steps to Christ, p. 69

Then are they glad because they be quiet…” The Desire of Ages, p. 336
