In this week’s message, Pastor Joe Donahue invites us to rediscover the power and purpose of fasting. More than just skipping meals, fasting creates space to encounter God’s presence, hear His direction, and depend fully on His Word. Whether it’s for personal growth, family decisions, or the future of Beach Church, fasting is a biblical way to align our hearts with God’s will.
Pastor Joe Donahue shared from Matthew 7:7–11, teaching that God invites us into bold and persistent prayer. Even when His answers don’t look the way we expect, God promises to respond and knows how to bless us better than we know ourselves. This message challenges us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting God with the big picture of our lives.
This week, Pastor Joe Donahue challenges us to confront one of the church’s most common struggles—judging others. Through Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:1–5, we learn that judgment clouds our vision, but repentance restores our ability to see people clearly. True influence begins when we lead with grace and transparency, not criticism.
