Jesus Said What? | Part 6 | Pastor Nathan Futrell

Join Pastor Nathan Futrell for Week 6 of, "Jesus Said What?"

 

In John 6, Jesus says, “eat my flesh and drink my blood,” not to promote cannibalism, but to show that He is our source of true life. Just as our bodies need food and water, our souls need Jesus daily, not as an occasional supplement, but as our sustenance.

The sermon compares our physical need for nutrients to our spiritual need for God’s presence, prayer, and Scripture. Studies even show that engaging with Scripture four or more times a week reduces loneliness, anger, and spiritual stagnation while deepening community and faith.

We’re called to build daily rhythms around spiritual nourishment and rediscover that God is not bitter medicine, but truly good. Communion reminds us that Jesus gave His body and blood so we could be restored to the full, satisfying relationship with God we were created for.
