Even liberal scholars, theologians, historians and archaeologists now concede that the person of Jesus found in the Bible is an historical reality. However, the debate rages on to ...read more

I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 2, 2022

When we focus only upon temporal physical and superficial longings – represented by physical bread – we neglect our eternal deep spiritual needs, represented by spiritual bread, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

I Am the Bread of Life (John 6:35-51) 1. Most writers know not to use mixed metaphors. Here are some examples: 1. She was a couch potato in the gravy boat of life, flopping dejectedly on the sofa. 2.

Contributed by Mike Lewis on Feb 1, 2023

Before Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, the people began to gather around forming Great Crowds. Why did these crowds form? What kept the crowds satisfied? What drove them away?

Why They Turned Down The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 15, 2020

This section is lengthy and confusing. There is a lot going on. This message unpacks it by focusing on five of the key reasons the crowd rejects Jesus here.

- A couple things up front. - First, there is a lot in this passage, yet the passage needs to be taken together. A lot of ideas are brought out, but it’s all a cohesive whole. So we are going to cover a lot of ground this evening. - Second, there is so much in this passage that there are ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more

Are we really concerned about getting what we need to maintain our bodies? Is there ...read more

Don't Settle

Contributed by Jeff Poor on Jun 10, 2019

The problem with this crowd is that they are seeking Jesus for the wrong reasons. They’re ready to settle for barley loaves and sardines when Jesus came to give them eternal life. Throughout this narrative, the clear lesson is, “Look beyond the flesh.”

INTRO Good Morning… Blah blah blah… Stuff around loving John… Reading Keller, go through it a few times a year… And it always gets better… I love looking at the interactions Jesus has with the people in John… What I love is that Jesus gives people what they need, not always what they are ...read more
