About this sermon

The Bible repeatedly refers to the practice of fasting, and, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus made the assumption that His followers would fast. (See Matthew 6:16-18.) But what is so spiritual about going hungry? Dr. David K. Bernard explains the biblical purpose of fasting and how saying "no" to food can help you say "yes" to a closer relationship with God.
