Today, as we open the Word of God. We will continue our series over the sermon on the mount, found in Matthew chapters five through seven, regarding the peculiar kingdom of God and its people. In particular, we are continuing today in the sixth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, learning about how we have been called to live a life of faith without hypocrisy by addressing three particular practices of faith that can so easily be done hypocritically. Today, we begin to address the third and final practice, fasting. We will discuss the purpose of fasting and what is not so that we can better heed what Jesus has to teach us here in Matthew 6:16-18. We will also discuss how we can begin to include this practice of faith in our rhythms of life.
