This week Pastor Peter continued our series on prayer and taught from Matthew 6:16-18. These verses teach us that prayer and fasting are our way to declare our dependence on God.
16 “Whenever you fast, don’t be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces so that their fasting is obvious to people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that your fasting isn’t obvious to others but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
