When We Give

Key Points





Fasting for ourselves defeats the purpose of fasting.


In Isaiah 58 we find God’s chosen fast. To repent and give.


We are oftentimes yoked or strapped to self-desires.


Giving to those in need helps free us from self. 


We are saved not by works but those who are saved do good works.
