Starting The New Year With God's Power

What does a healthy, Spirit-filled church actually look like—and how does prayer and fasting shape God’s people for maturity, power, and faithfulness?

This message explores Acts 2:42 and the blueprint of the early church, showing how steadfast devotion to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer formed a church that was united, generous, God-fearing, and growing. As the church enters a season of prayer and fasting, this sermon offers a deeply biblical vision of fasting—not as a way to earn God’s favor, but as a means of grace that trains believers in patience, self-control, humility, and dependence on God.

Tracing fasting from Genesis to Revelation, this teaching shows how fasting is woven into God’s redemptive story—from Adam’s probation in Eden, to Christ’s victory as the faithful Second Adam, to the Spirit-led church advancing God’s Kingdom. Viewers are challenged to see fasting as spiritual training for priestly kingship, spiritual warfare, and joyful service to God.
