I Want To Read My Bible. Where Do I Start?

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 14, 2020

Many "mature" Christians have never read their Bible except for passages for Sunday School or other lessons. I was one of them. When I opened my Bible and began reading the Bible for myself, that is when God started revealing himself to me.

JOHN Most Bible scholars would recommend the Gospel of John as the first book a new Christian should read. -- John records the seven “I am” statements of Jesus. 1. I am the bread of life. John 6:35,48,51 2. I am the light of the world. John 8:12 3. I am the door of the sheep. John 10:7,9 4. ...read more

Why Jesus Downplayed The Miracles Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2020

Jesus does back-to-back miracles: the mass feeding and then walking on water. But He downplays both miracles. Why would He do that?

WHAT JESUS WALKING ON WATER ACCOMPLISHED: Seeing this miracle strengthened the disciples’ faith in Jesus. - John 6:16-21. - Matthew 14:28-33. - The disciples have just seen Jesus multiply the loaves. It is an incredible miracle that they got to see happen up close. - That evening, Jesus sends ...read more

I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Paul Werling on Dec 26, 2020

Jesus is the bread of life born in Bethlehem the house of bread. We need to learn to believe, trust and obey even when we don't understand.

So you know I really like to give a course rationale when I begin a new series. So keep this in mind as we pursue the purpose of these sermons over the next few weeks. I know I usually would be preaching a sermon on New Years' and time. But this year I want to keep the Christmas theme going ...read more

Feeding On Christ

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019

What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

Jesus Is Greater Than Moses, Part 2 (John 6:22-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Eat Jesus' bread-- the bread still available-- and you will live forever.

Chapter 6 is really one long story, and we are supposed to read it all at once (5:1, 6:1, 7:1 all begin with "After these things," marking new sections). But it's 71 verses, and I can't hold that much together at once. I tried, and I started to lose my mind a little. Today, ...read more

Jesus Offers A Better Bread (John 6:51-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

The Search For Jesus

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 7, 2022

As Christians we all want to get close to Jesus but few are able to develop a close, personal relationship with Him due to focusing on their own needs first instead of the kingdom of God.

I Am The Bread Of Life – All You Ever Need In This World And The Next - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022

Why have we descended into this spiritual mess? Why? It is because we have lost our appetite for the Bread of Life and prefer rather, the onions, cucumbers, leeks and garlic of Egypt. We have dishonoured the Lord of the churches, and despised the Bread of Life.

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Oct 9, 2022

What it really means to be a disciple.

The gospel of John does not contain any parables. What the gospel of John has in it is conversations and we learn from those conversations. There’s a conversation that we have with Nicodemus, there's the conversation that we have with the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery. We have ...read more

Are We Being Spoon Fed Or Are We Feeding Ourselves?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 10, 2023

How many Christians today are actually taking time out of their week, much less any given day, to study the Word of God.

Key verses (31-35) John 6:22-40 portrays the underlying outcome of Jesus’ feeding of the thousands the day previous. The people’s real longing is for another extraordinary and supernatural scene and all the free food. In this entry, Christ starts to clarify the genuine significance behind His ...read more
