Feasting and Fasting

What does it look like to follow Jesus when what you really want is what he can give you — security, community, meaning, answers? In John 6, Jesus calls out a crowd still thinking about yesterday's free meal and declares himself the bread of life. The people want a sign. They want bread from the sky. They want what God can do, not God himself.Dominic Jackson explores what it means to hunger for God himself rather than the benefits that come from him, and introduces the church's Lenten fast as an invitation to disrupt the ordinary and rediscover an appetite for God.
