This sermon continues Mr. Smith's series of sermons on the basic tools we need to apply in our lives to reach the goal God has in mind for us. This sermon deals with the subject of fasting showing that if we will use this tool properly to remain close to God, then God will not have to bring trials on us in order to keep us from going off track in our Christian lives.
