The Beautiful Resistance: Week 12 - Fasting and Feasting – Paul Maughan
How do our internal longings and appetites shape the way we follow Jesus? In this instalment Paul explores the spiritual disciplines of fasting and feasting as essential tools for curating the heart. Rooted in the teachings of Matthew 6:16-18, this message examines how Jesus assumes His followers will fast, not as a performance for others to see, but as a secret act of devotion to the Father. Drawing from biblical history - from Adam and Eve's failure to fast in the garden to Jesus’ own forty-day fast in the wilderness - Paul illustrates that we do not live on bread alone, but on every word from the mouth of God. Ultimately, we are invited to move beyond the "appetite machine" of our own wants and find our true fulfilment at the table of the Lord.
