Seeking Jesus, Finding Truth
from Grand Parkway Baptist Church · host Neil McClendon
What does it mean to seek Jesus for who He truly is rather than what He can give us?In this sermon on John 6:22–40, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon explores the aftermath of the feeding of the 5,000, where the crowd follows Jesus looking for another free meal. Pastor Neil unpacks Jesus’s declaration, "I am the bread of life," to reveal three foundational truths: the capacity to believe is a sovereign gift from God, believers can rest in the absolute assurance of their salvation, and the work of Jesus is central to receiving eternal life. Discover how moving away from a performance-based approach to faith allows you to rest in God's goodness and sovereign care.In this episode, we cover:Seeking Jesus vs. Seeking Miracles: Why following Christ for physical provision or bad motives leads to missing the true gospel.The Capacity to Believe as a Gift: Understanding verse 37 and how divine grace enables human hearts to respond to God.The Assurance of the Believer: Resting in Christ’s promise that He will lose none of those given to Him by the Father and will raise them up on the last day.Centrality of the Son: Why looking to Christ and believing in His finished work is the only basis for true righteousness and eternal life.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
