Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Contemporary)
Pastor Torres preaches from Isaiah 58, showing that true religion is not empty ritual but compassion, justice, and delight in the Lord. Israel’s fasting was hollow because it ignored the needs of the oppressed. God calls His people to a fast that frees others, feeds the hungry, and repairs what is broken. When our spiritual practices turn outward in love, God promises restoration, guidance, and joy. Worship then flows from delight, not duty, and we become “repairers of the breach,” instruments of renewal for generations to come.
