John 6:32-40 – Renovaré

Pastor Brian Goke challenges us to consider our motivation for gathering at the beginning of each week. God created us to desire relationship with him. In John 6, after witnessing a miracle, many demand more physical food. Jesus patiently proclaims his very identity and reveals that he offers something much better. God who created our bodies also created our souls. Just as healthy eating, exercise, and rest affect our physical health; consuming God’s word, exercising faith through stretching and serving, and Sabbath rest improve our spiritual health. We gather to meet the living God, abide with him, and rest for the work ahead. And the Communion is always good!
