26 West Church: Audio Podcast

Jesus again describes himself using a metaphor of living water, this time in the midst of a crowd who both views him in a variety of ways and is celebrating a festival with clear ties to his metaphor. All of this presents us with similar questions of how we view and relate to Jesus; do we want more of him?   Taught by Ryan Doucet.

Jesus teaches during the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.  So much of Jesus’ ministry revolved around Israel’s weekly sabbath and annual festival celebrations.  It’s a reminder that regular rhythms of remembering God's provision are important to experiencing Jesus in everyday life.   Taught by Jose Zayas.

Many turn away when Jesus’ teaching becomes difficult, revealing that faith is tested not only by doubt and suffering, but also by His exclusive claims. As the crowds leave, Peter’s question remains: “Lord, to whom shall we go?”—a reminder that lasting faith is rooted in the life, presence, and words of Jesus.   Taught by Jose Zayas.

As Jesus walks upon the water to meet the disciples in the middle of the lake, fear grips them. Based on the evidence, there is still uncertainty, doubt, and even confusion among them about the one they follow. In what ways is this similar to our own experience?  Taught by Ryan Doucet.

Jesus feeds the 5,000 and reveals Himself as the true source of God’s provision and presence. Set against the backdrop of Passover, this miracle points beyond physical bread to Jesus as the greater Savior who fulfills God’s promises to His people.    Taught by Jose Zayas.

True life isn’t found in religious activity, but in recognizing, trusting, and making room for Jesus Himself.   Taught by Jose Zayas.

In the final teaching in the series, Jose Zayas looks at how coveting ties together all 10 commandments. Desire is a gift from God. Misplaced desire can be dangerous. Taught by Jose Zayas
