Sermon Summary
Come and See the Signs (Part 1) Gospel of John - Bread of Life
Have you ever felt a deep spiritual hunger that no earthly satisfaction could fill? In Pastor Bill's powerful exploration of John 6, he unveils Jesus' profound declaration: "I am the bread of life." Through the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water, we witness Christ meeting both physical and spiritual needs - yet pointing to something far greater. Pastor Bill emphasizes that just as bread is essential for physical life, Jesus is essential for spiritual life. He challenges us to move beyond merely knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him, comparing many Christians to fans who want benefits without commitment. The sermon culminates in a compelling truth: faith isn't about having every answer, but about choosing to stay with Christ because He alone satisfies our deepest hunger. Through vivid illustrations of fresh-baked bread and medical students' journey from knowledge to practice, Pastor Bill calls us to stop being spectators and fully participate in Christ's transformative work, reminding us that information without transformation doesn't save.
