Secret Church 19 – Session 6: What Do the Gospels Say About Prayer and Fasting?

About this sermon

In this session of Secret Church 19, Pastor David Platt explores how the gospels speak about prayer and fasting. In these books, we see the One to whom the entire Old Testament was pointing—Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus secures the salvation of his people and teaches them what it means to be a citizen of his kingdom. Through Jesus’ teaching and example, we understand that prayer, fasting, and the pursuit of God are central to Christian discipleship. In a passage known as “The Lord’s Prayer,” Jesus gives us a kind of template, or pattern, for how to pray, and it’s a pattern that he embodied in his own life and death. The One who taught us to ask that God’s will might be done on earth submitted to his Father’s will at the cost of his own life.
