I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Jul 20, 2022

One of the most controversial figures in history is Jesus of Nazareth. You could ask 100 people who they think Jesus was and you could get 100 different answers. So, who is Jesus?

Introduction: One of the most controversial figures in history is Jesus of Nazareth. You could ask 100 people who they think Jesus was and you could get 100 different answers. So, who is Jesus?

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

I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Michael Deutsch on May 8, 2020

A series on the I AM statements of Jesus and what they mean for us.

I AM the Bread of Life May 3, 2020 John 6:25-41 There was a health-food restaurant with a billboard that read, “Eat here and live a long life!” Not wanting to be outdone, the barbeque place next-door put up a sign saying - “Eat here and die happy!” Food, glorious food. For some food seems like ...read more

"Lord, I Believe”: A Concerned Father Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 2, 2020

His son had a severe problem. The disciples of Jesus couldn't cast out a demon who was living inside a boy. Then Jesus came by and promptly made everything right.

Introduction: Jesus, along with Peter, James, and John, had just come down from the Mount of Transfiguration (verses 1-13). This is one of the most wonderful events ever recorded in the Bible: seeing the Lord Jesus Christ “transfigured” before them, and speaking with both Moses and Elijah. The ...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

What exactly happens, when we celebrate the Eucharist? And what exactly are we eating?

Today, we continue working our way through John 6. Let's start by simply rereading, starting from verse 22. This verse picks up after Jesus fed 5,000 people the bread and the fish, and after Jesus walked on the water. (22) On the next day, the crowd-- the one standing on the other side of ...read more

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

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

Jesus Feeds His Hungry People

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 14, 2021

When we go to God through Christ, we will never walk away hungry. When we draw near to God with our whole heart, we will never walk away, disappointed. Because for us, our faithful Saviour will always provide enough—more than enough.

If you’ve recently prayed the Lord’s Prayer, then you made the request to your Father in heaven that He would give you this day “your daily bread.” I wonder if that’s a petition we make with a lot of sincerity. Are we really concerned about getting what we need to maintain our bodies? Is there ...read more

Food That Endures Through Our Faith Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2021

They didn’t see the sign that the multiplying loaves represented. Jesus’s temporary filling their tummies was supposed to be a sign that faith in Him.

Monday of the Third Week of Easter Fake news is not new. Enemies of the Faith have been inventing tales about Christians even before anyone used the word “Christian.” At His trial, false witnesses invented accusations against Jesus, and in fact said the same thing of Jesus that they later accused ...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

The Seekers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

All across this nation we have psychologists and psychiatrists working overtime trying to figure out why people do what they do.

One thing is for sure, WHATEVER WE DO, WE DO FOR A REASON. Also, EVERYWHERE WE GO, WE GO FOR A REASON! For example, have you ever seen a football stadium full of people and wondered what motivated those people to be there? Of course you know there are probably many reasons; such as... - They ...read more
