What does it mean to fast in a way that truly honors God? In this message, Pastor Robby Jarvis of Culture House Church explores the biblical purpose of fasting and challenges believers to move beyond religious performance and outward appearances.

Drawing from Leviticus 16, Matthew 6, and Matthew 9, this sermon examines the difference between fasting to impress others and fasting as an expression of genuine devotion to God. Jesus warned against fasting like the Pharisees, who focused on outward displays of righteousness rather than the heart behind their spiritual practices. Instead, followers of Christ are called to seek God sincerely, approach Him with humility, and make room for Him to work in their lives.

Discover how fasting connects to repentance, spiritual discipline, and a deeper relationship with the Father. Whether you are new to fasting or looking to grow in your spiritual walk, this message will encourage you to examine your motives and rediscover the purpose of this biblical practice.
