Food: not only is it enjoyable, but it is essential to a heathy functioning body. When Jesus used the metaphor “bread of life” to refer to himself, he was making a profound statement about the importance of regular nourishment for our souls as well. To consume the “bread of life” means internalizing and the ways, thoughts, imaginations, and disciplines of the righteous life that Jesus modeled for his followers.
During this sermon series called “Soul Food,” we will participate in the Lord’s Supper weekly. As you enter worship, remember to pick up your communion elements near the door.
