Junkfood



One of the harsh realities of life is that there comes a time when we just can’t eat everything we like. During our growing years we can live on chips and soda without any apparent negative effects but when we reach thirty something that all changes. And it only gets worse as the years pile up. By 50 we become nutrition experts, not by choice but by necessity. If we want to be able to function throughout the day, we’ve got to eat the right foods.

Jesus often used picture language to describe how he impacts our lives. One time he said, “I am the Bread of life.” Bread, at the time Jesus lived on this earth, was the primary food. Every meal was pretty much bread as the main course with a little something else as a small side. By calling himself the Bread of Life, Jesus was saying, “If you’re going to survive spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically not only in this life but especially after death, I have got to be your power source.”

There is a lot of spiritual junk food being sold in the form of self-help materials. Some is just common sense, others make us feel good about ourselves, but none address the root cause for the problems we face nor provides a complete, long term solution. If you are feeling a little weak as you journey through life, join us for one of our weekend services and get some real spiritual food from the Bread of Life.
