A message from the series “Come and See.” After Jesus miraculously fed the 5,000, the crowds followed closely after Him. But Jesus saw their hearts and knew that they were seeking provision from Him, rather than the salvation offered by Him. So Jesus confronted them with the truth of Who He is, saying “I am the bread of life.” And in doing so, He also confronted them with the truth of their unbelief. Reading this account in John 6, we should ask, what do we want from God? And do we believe that Jesus is Who He said He is?

A message from the series “Come and See.” In John chapter 7, it is recorded that Jesus stood up on the greatest day of the Feast of Tabernacles and proclaimed, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

A message from the series “Beyond the Walls.” In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us that we, as His followers, are the light of the world! If we look at our own lives, we will recall a specific person or specific people who took time to invest in us and to share the light of Jesus with us. So, too, we are called to invest in others and share the light of Jesus with the people in our lives. As we consider “Who’s your one?,” we can invest in a specific person, remembering that Jesus is simply calling us to live out our lives as His disciples–and to let others see the light.

A message from the series “Beyond the Walls.” In Luke 5, we read about a group of people who were willing to break through a ceiling in front of a large crowd so that they could get their friend to Jesus. And although they were thinking about his need for physical healing, Jesus saw the man’s greater need for forgiveness from sins, and provided both mercy and healing. What are we willing to do to bring the message of the Gospel to the people we know?

In order to serve others, and share the gospel through our service, we should seek to draw closer to the character and the attitude of God, and to use the opportunities God gives us for service.
