Sermon Notes
John #16: I Am the Bread of Life (John 6:22-40)
Today’s Big Idea: Jesus is the only one who can truly satisfy your soul.
What the Crowd Misunderstood (vv. 22-27)
They think Jesus is a means to an end.
"I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.” - Jim Carrey
An idol is anything you treat with god-like devotion.
What Jesus reveals about himself (vv. 28-35)
Jesus is the only one who can truly satisfy your soul.
An Invitation to a Deeper Life (vv. 36-40)
“The critical question for our generation—and for every generation—is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?” - John Piper
Response
After the sermon, we take some time in our service to reflect on and respond to the work of the Spirit in our lives. Here's 3 ways you can do that.
1. Prayer (for everyone)
Whatever stuff has come up for you today, you were not made to navigate this alone. Let us know how we can pray for you and support you as you seek to respond to the work of the Spirit this week!
2. Communion (for followers of Jesus)
Communion is a powerful way we can remember the gospel and rest in the finished work of Jesus.
3. Give (for those who call Fair Oaks home)
Giving is a great way for our hearts to respond to God’s generosity toward us and to help more people meet Jesus. Learn more.
