Daily Bread (Christopher Alton)

In this message we explore Jesus’ call for each of us to live with a healthy, life-giving rhythm of daily dependence on the Father. Drawing from the Lord’s Prayer, we see that asking for “daily bread” (Mt 6:11) is not a shopping list but a posture of surrender—learning to trust God for today and to draw our life from Christ Himself, the true Bread from heaven (Jn 6:51).As we reflect on the bread and wine, we consider Jesus’ daily call to let go of fear, frustration, and failure as we take hold of this Bread from heaven (Mt 26:26). We are reminded that we all have a share in the cup of the new covenant (Lk 22:17), which cleanses us by grace, yet calls us to lay down offence and unforgiveness (Mt 6:12) as we daily lay hold of His life and grace toward others (Eph 4:32).This message also marks the launch of Daily Bread for 2026, inviting us to journey together as a church—feeding daily on Christ.  https://www.livingrock.church/daily-bread
