I AM the Bread of Life - John 6:26-40

Good day, Grace Family!

Sunday I begin our series on the I AMs of John – each one adding to the testimony of Jesus – as we heard last week “so that you may believe!”. I will begin with some basic background on the name I AM and then quickly into the claims of Jesus as the Bread of Life. We will wander through the annuals of Exodus recalling the name of Jehovah and the manna provided in the Wilderness Journey. Then fast forwarding to the Gospels where Jesus takes the offering of the little boy’s lunch and after a time of prayer – He feeds a crowd of 5000 a picnic! On the heels of that miracle, Jesus seizes a teaching moment – “I am the Bread of Life” was the lesson though we will hear Sunday that it was part of a longer lesson that began with some impertinent questions from the people. 

Join me as we begin a series of Sevens recorded in John’s Gospel – I will also be sharing my Banana Bread recipe (not kidding!) as an illustration of the difference between studying bread and eating bread! 

See you Sunday,

Pastor Mike
