10. Knowing Him - The Bread of Life

from Mitchell Berean Church - Podcast · host Ben Phillips

There are a lot of things in life I just don’t understand—car parts, dance moves… and sometimes the way Jesus works. And when we don’t understand something, our instinct is usually simple: avoid it. In John 6, the crowd finds Jesus because they want more of what He gave them before. But instead of offering another miracle, He offers something far more... uncomfortable—Himself. Not a formula. Not a checklist. Not something they can earn. Just a call to believe. And the moment faith replaces effort… the crowd begins to drift. Here’s the tension we all have to face: what happens when Jesus stops giving us what we want—and starts inviting us to trust Him for who He is? When the Provider no longer looks like our version of provision… when “my way” collides with the Way… do we lean in, or quietly walk away? This weekend, we’re going to wrestle with a hard question most of us avoid: if Jesus truly has the words of eternal life… why is it sometimes so difficult to keep following Him? - Pastor Ben Key Verse - John 6:35 (NIV) - "Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49567367
