The New DRUG: Why We Chase Spiritual EXPERIENCES Instead of JESUS Himself

from Renovatio: Deep Thinking for Real Ministry · host Rob Trenckmann

Are you seeking Jesus for who He is, or just for what He gives you? In this powerful teaching from John 6, we explore the second biggest mistake Christians make: confusing spiritual experiences with genuine relationship with Jesus. Discover why Jesus rebuked the crowds who followed Him for free food and miraculous signs, and what His shocking command to "eat my flesh and drink my blood" really means for your faith today. This message challenges both intellectual, behavior-driven Christianity AND experience-driven Christianity that lacks depth. Topics covered: • The difference between experience and relationship with God • Why Jesus turned away a crowd of 5,000+ followers • What it means to truly "feast on Jesus" • How to avoid using God to get what you want • The danger of content-light, experience-driven faith • Understanding John 6:26, 53-58 in context Whether you lean toward intellectual Christianity or experiential Christianity, this teaching will help you discover what real, relational faith looks like. Perfect for Bible study groups, small groups, and anyone wanting to deepen their walk with God. Bible passages discussed: John 6:1-58, with references to the nature of worship, prayer, and Scripture reading in the Christian life. #John6 #ChristianFaith #BiblicalTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #RelationshipWithJesus #ChristianLiving #BibleStudy #Discipleship
