We are a sent and sending church. Our mission is to see those far from God become committed followers of Jesus Christ. We accomplish this mission by delivering the word of God, discipling the believer, and deploying the church. Sermons are preached by Paul Laso.
SUMMARY “The following section of scripture (chapters 8 to 10) can be described with two words: Radical confrontation. There will be conflict that escalates between Jesus and the Jewish leaders (chapter 8), the healing of a man born blind (chapter 9), Jesus' claim to be the Good Shepherd (chapter 10), and Jesus' claim to be the Messiah and Son of God!” NIV Biblical Theological Study Bible KEY TAKEAWAYS Main Idea: Jesus is the light of the world, enabling those enslaved by sin to live in freedom. A Path Revealed (12) Those who follow Him will not walk in darkness Those who follow Him have the light of life A Revealing Response (13–20) They attempt to discredit Jesus They judge by human standards They dismiss Jesus' relationship with the Father
SUMMARY “After the departure of some “disciples” of Jesus (not the “Twelve”) because of the offensive nature of Jesus's message (6:60), the Gospel continues to show the kind of responses the message and ministry of Jesus yields. Since the beginning of the Gospel, the narrative has been depicting the dramatic interaction between light and darkness, God and the world (1:5). In this section of Scripture, conflict is not far away but right at home, with the very people with whom Jesus should have found the most connection and support—his own family.” - Edward W. Klink KEY TAKEAWAYS Main Idea: Jesus' faithful obedience to the Father is seen as He prioritizes God's mission and agenda over man's. Jesus embraces His true identity (1–5) He rejects the idea of being a religious celebrity He does not want superficial faith, but faith in Him Jesus prioritizes His Father's will, not ours (6–13) He fulfills the Father's divine appointments He came to reveal truth and shine the light on the cynicism and fear of men
SUMMARY “From the beginning of the Gospel, Jesus has been intimately connected to God (cf. 1:1), and the previous pericope gave a vivid demonstration of the unity of God and Jesus, the “I am” in the burning bush and on the sea. As much as this pericope completes the larger picture of chapter 6, it also propels the Gospel's narrative forward, forcing us to confront the person of Jesus as the fullness of God. Jesus has confessed dramatically His true identity; He will now challenge his interested followers to see if they are willing to accept him as He truly is.” Edward Klink KEY TAKEAWAYS Main Idea: Jesus' offer of eternal life demands a response from us. We can harden our hearts against Him (60-65) We take offense at His Words We don't see Jesus for who He truly is We don't believe in the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit We can come to know and trust the Holy One of God (67–69) We recognize His Words are the only source of life We surrender and submit ourselves to Him

What does Jesus offer? Jesus offers His life so that we can have eternal life (53–55, 57–58) He offers His body and blood He offers real bread and drink Jesus offers transformation for those who remain in Him (56) We are dead apart from Him We are filled with life when we partake of Him This new life is no longer physical but spiritual

What are the promises that Jesus makes? The Promise of True Satisfaction (35) You shall not hunger You shall never thirst The Promise of Eternal Security (37–40) God will accomplish His work of Salvation God will preserve those who are His God will bring about a future reality The Promise of Eternal Life (41–51) God gives eternal life to those who believe in Jesus God gives eternal life to those who eat the living bread

(1) Jesus is who we pursue and believe (15, 26–29) We set aside our agenda and pursue Him We set aside temporary satisfaction for Him We set aside our misguided pursuits and believe in Him (2) Jesus demonstrates that He is the greater bread (30–33) God is the giver of true bread God provided Jesus to give eternal life
Following the miracle of feeding over 10,000 individuals, this section of the Gospel emphasizes how Jesus' presence, the great I AM,sciples' silences the di fears and calls them to receive Him. Sermons at Brainerd North Georgia are preached by Pastor Paul Laso. For more information about Brainerd North Georgia -- Visit Brainerdbaptist.org
The feeding of the five thousand is the fifth of seven signs John presents to urge his readers to trust in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God. Jesus tests his disciples, and they try to figure out a problem on their own without Him, and the crowd tries to capture and use Jesus for their own selfish ends. The lesson for all of us is to learn to rely on Jesus and receive him as our king. For more information about Brainerd North Georgia visit: https://www.brainerdbaptist.org/brainerd-north-ga
