_ 052216 BREAD

(CLICK THE TITLE) Good morning and praise the Lord for another wonderful day. Who will you share the goodness of God with today?

Today’s Prayer

Father, Thank You for the financial resources You have provided for us. At times we’ve really had to stretch to make ends meet; other times we’ve had plenty. We pray that You will give us wisdom and guidance to know how to manage the resources in our care. We pray that we will make the most of it; that we will use it to not only meet our needs, but to further the work of Your kingdom and to help others in need. We pray that we will be careful, but not stingy; generous, but not overzealous; content, but not complacent. Please use us to be a blessing to others. We pray that whatever we give of our time, spiritual gifts, and finances will be a blessing to You too and that You will always be glorified through our actions. We praise You father. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

Jesus, the Bread of Life

John 6:22-38

The next morning, back across the lake, crowds began gathering on the shore, waiting to see Jesus. For they knew that he and his disciples had come over together and that the disciples had gone off in their boat, leaving him behind. Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten. When the crowd saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him. When they arrived and found him, they asked, “Teacher, how did you get here?” Jesus replied, “The truth is, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you saw the miraculous sign. But you shouldn’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Son of Man, can give you. For God the Father has sent me for that very purpose.” They replied, “What does God want us to do?” Jesus told them, “This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the one he has sent.” They replied, “You must show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What will you do for us? After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! As the Scriptures say, `Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” Jesus said, “I assure you, Moses didn’t give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day of our lives.” Jesus replied, I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life–that I should raise them at the last day.”

Quote of the Day

Should I worship Him from fear of hell, may I be cast into it. Should I serve Him from desire of gaining heaven, may He keep me out. But should I worship Him from love alone, He reveals Himself to me, that my whole heart may be filled with His love and presence.
