Title: The Fast That God Chooses: True Worship in Action
Scripture Reference: Isaiah 58:6–12
Preacher: Rev. Chuck Rains
Date: February 3, 1991
In this deeply convicting sermon, Rev. Chuck Rains unpacks Isaiah 58, challenging us to see “fasting” not as a mere religious ritual, but as a lifestyle of true worship. God’s chosen fast isn’t about abstaining from food—it’s about a life of justice, compassion, and sacrificial love.
Pastor Rains explores:
- What it means to break the yokes of oppression.
- How love is expressed through meeting the needs of others.
- Why our treatment of family reflects the authenticity of our faith.
- The personal cost and eternal rewards of living a life of true devotion.
Using stories from his childhood on the farm, Pastor Rains highlights how injustice within the family can wound deeply—and how healing comes through selfless giving and Christ-like love. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of worship pleases God, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and encouragement to walk in righteousness and love.
