Detox My Soul | Sermon on the Mount

This week, we're focusing on detoxing our soul and finding true life in Christ. What does this mean?

Sin created a separation from God that only Jesus could mend. Because God loved the world so much, He gave His only Son to bring us back into His family (John 3:16). Through Jesus, we are offered salvation, redemption, and the truest life possible—a life filled with purpose, contentment, joy, and peace.

This abundant life isn't free from storms, but it remains vibrant despite them. Living this life comes at a cost: surrendering our way for Jesus' way. As disciples, we follow His teachings, His example, and His guidance, embracing His truth and life (John 14:6; Matthew 11:28-30).

In this message, we’ll unpack Jesus’ yoke as seen in the Sermon on the Mount and explore the spiritual practices He teaches—giving, prayer, and fasting. We’ll dive deeper into fasting, one of the most underutilized yet transformative practices, and its power to:

1.) Starve the flesh and align us with the Spirit (Galatians 5).

2.) Amplify our prayers and deepen our union with God.

3.) Stand with the poor, blessing others while drawing closer to Christ (Isaiah 58).

Fasting isn't just about giving up food; it's about replacing our strongest desires with our deepest desire—to know and walk with Jesus. Whether it's a regular practice or a response to a crisis, fasting helps us seek God in a meaningful way.

Take the challenge: Remove something this week—maybe a meal—and turn that hunger into a moment with the Lord. Let’s draw closer to God together!
