Romans 1:7 (NLT) I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Paul is writing to the church, whom The Lord loves, differently. We who have placed our faith in Jesus, as Lord and Savior, are called the bride! You are in a relationship with the Creator of the universe He has the ability to love you in a unique way, different than any one ever before The one who loves you more than anyone ever has or ever could Once we begin to really see his great love for us, Falling in love with him, …

When I have to break up chapters like this it can seem like there is quite a distance of time but as we go into the end of chapter 8, we need to remember that Jesus had just handle the situation with the woman they were going to stone because …

John 8: 1-3 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. 3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman …

When we allow the world and world system to control us it is easy to lose sight of the plan Jesus has for us to have “life and have it abundantly” for this present life as well as the one to come. In other words, a real relationship with Jesus gives us that resurrection life now.

Jesus is still at the festival of shelters. Much like in today’s culture the people are showing their confusion about who Jesus really is.. John 7:31 Many among the crowds at the Temple believed in him. “After all,” they said, “would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs …

Jesus is being extreme in both cases because many wanted only the miracles they didn’t want the deep connection and relationship that ensures eternal life and a successful life in the Kingdom here on earth as well….you can not be light, life, salt if you are not completely connected and in intimate relationship with the one who is all of these things himself….the belief is a daily communion with him, daily living a life that is Jesus pouring through us…we are light, life, salt, hope, joy, love and all of these things because that is how he is and we are daily becoming one with Him.

Bread was a staple in the middle east as it is in the west today. Bread was used by God as a sign of life and supply. Today we will see the blessing and challenge of Jesus use of bread as a sign of real life. John 6 is the longest chapter in the book so let’s see if we can get through it today.

Let me ask you a question: if you were told today you only had six months to live, what would you do? How would the priorities in your life change? How important would family be? How important would work be? How important would your faith be? We have the luxury …

This is what religion does, it takes the love and grace of God and turns it into tyranny. This is what happened in the dark ages from 500 to 1500 AD people forgot about grace and soon people were being killed for their “failure to live up to the rules” love and grace went out the window….before we get critical, how many times do we judge people based on our interpretation of the scripture rather than the law of love?
