They didn't turn the plane around; Bread is making you sad; Wisconsin man allows snakes to bite him

So many things in life promise fulfillment, yet ultimately leave us empty. But Jesus offers something far greater—the bread of life.  In his message “Bread from Heaven,” Pastor Harrison Conley unpacks John 6 where Jesus miraculously feeds the 5,000 and walks on water. You'll discover how Jesus can provide abundantly, see you through life's storms, and reveal His power and glory in ways we never imagined. Be encouraged as you discover how Jesus isn't just a provider—He is the provision!

In a world where carbs are demonized and bread gets blamed for everything

Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly? Micah 2:7   One of my favorite books of the Bible, highlighting the character of our God - faithful in steadfast love, but holy and righteous in His judgment. He predicted a time when prophets, like himself, would vanish from Israel, but boldly proclaimed God's message in his day: Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be black over them; the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.   But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.   Micah 3:6–8 Micah was a contemporary of Amos, Hosea; and Isaiah, and he accurately predicted the fall of Israel to Assyria and Judah to Babylon in judgment for their wicked abuse of power and oppression of the poor. His indictment is scathing: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?— you who hate the good and love the evil Micah 3:1–2 It is no mistake that in the book of Micah God is looking out for the humble, lowly and poor who are being mistreated by the powerful and corrupt, as the birthplace of the Messiah is here announced as that humble little agrarian town of Bethlehem, the House of Bread ... the bread that comes down from heaven, who also was used and abused by the powerful.   Micah's predictions of the Lord Jesus, like those of Isaiah, are stunning! ... with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.   This helpful summary of Micah, we pray, will help in your study of this wonderful book in God's word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEUEcylwLc

Growing In God Podcast Title: The Bread We Know Not Of   Web Description: Is it really possible to run without getting tired or to walk without becoming weary? That is not our normal experience, but it is God's. He is never weary or tired, and He promises to give us His strength if we wait on Him. Christ knew how to do this. The food that sustained Him was in His connection to the Father, and we are connected to the Father through Him. Isn't it time for us to learn how to draw from Him?   Show Notes: Isaiah 40 contains a familiar passage about waiting on the Lord. This passage tells us that when we wait for the Lord, we gain new strength. God wants us to have a new strength that is beyond any strength we have ever known because it is His strength. Unlike our strength, His strength never dissipates. Whereas the strongest and most vigorous human will grow weary, God never gets tired. He does not need to rest or eat because He always has energy. And this is the energy He has promised us if we wait on Him.   As humans we get our energy from food. But Yeshua (Jesus) told His disciples that He had food to eat that they did not know of. There is a spiritual food that He knew how to partake of. He knew how to connect with the Father's unlimited energy. In His weariness in the flesh as a human being, Yeshua reached into God the Father and was energized without eating natural food. Unfortunately, we do not know of this food, but we are supposed to learn about it. We are supposed to learn how to wait on the Lord and connect with the energy that God provides.   If we are not drawing this energy, then have we really learned how to wait on the Lord? Let us set aside any passivity or conditioning we might have and put the force of our faith behind what God has said in His Word is ours. Let us learn to walk in the spirit as Christ did and wait on the Spirit of God until He dwells within us. According to the Word, if the power of the Father that raised Christ from the dead dwells within us, our mortal bodies will be energized. We will run and not get tired. We will walk and not become weary. Let us reach into it. Let us learn to wait on the Lord.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 40:28–31. “Those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength.” •       John 4:31–34. “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” •       John 3:3–5. “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” •       Galatians 5:25. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” •       Romans 8:10–11. “He … will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”   Quotes:   •       “If we are really tuning into His strength, then it becomes evident to us that it is His strength. Why? Because it doesn't dissipate. His strength doesn't grow weary. He doesn't lack. He doesn't grow tired. All of these aspects of God's energy are extremely different than the human energy that we are used to.” •       “We have to be born into another world, into another relationship with the Father. That's different than just relating to Him at arms distance from this material world that we live in.” •       “I know I live physically by the food I eat. But is there a life that can come to me, and even come to my flesh, that comes through this relationship with Christ and having the Father—the Spirit of the Father—dwell within me?”   Takeaways:   1.    After many years of reading the Scriptures, we tend to become conditioned in our response to God's Word. And we might not put the emphasis and force of faith we need to behind experiencing what God is speaking to us. 2.    God promises in His Word that if we wait on Him, we will renew our strength. How real is that in our lives? Are we drawing on His power daily for a strength that never dissipates? Or is our strength continually dissipating because we look to our human flesh for our enabling? 3.    Physically we gain energy and sustain our strength through food. But Yeshua said He had food that was not known about on the physical level. He was energized and strengthened by His connection to the Father. Because Christ reconciled us to the Father, we can learn to draw that energy, strength, and life to our physical bodies.

In this sermon, Pastor Jared Richard explores the significance of "breaking bread" as one of the four pillars of the early church found in Acts 2:42. He demonstrates how Jesus intentionally used meals throughout His ministry to teach about His kingdom and sacrifice. From dining with tax collectors in Luke 5 to instituting the Lord's Supper in Luke 22, Jesus transformed ordinary tables into gospel opportunities. The early church continued this practice, using both formal meals (the Lord's Supper) and informal gatherings to remember Christ's sacrifice and demonstrate gospel unity. Their shared meals crossed social, economic, and ethnic boundaries, proclaiming that all believers belong at Christ's table. Pastor Richard challenges us to redeem our tables for gospel purposes by using mealtimes to remember God's provision, deepen our love for one another, and invite unbelievers to experience Christ. As he concludes, "What better way to saturate North Raleigh with the gospel than by saturating it with bread... and giving thanks to the Lord for His physical provision and calling others to see the spiritual provision He has given us in Jesus."   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

What if a simple loaf of bread could tell the story of an entire place, its resilience, its politics and poetry? In this episode of Whetstone Audio Dispatch, host Meher Varma takes us deep into the heart of Srinagar, Kashmir, where the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked tchot leads her to the neighborhood kandur, a traditional bakery that's far more than just a place to buy bread.Through conversations with bakers, poets, and everyday customers, we uncover how these bakeries, modest structures built of brick and smoke, have become cornerstones of community life, sacred tradition, and resistance. We meet legendary Zareef Ahmed Zareef, who traces the 4,000-year-old roots of Kashmiri baking, and listen to local myths where mystics emerge from tandoors bejeweled and unburned.Whether it's feeding a neighborhood during a curfew, sharing unspoken trust through pay-later systems, or trading morning news, bread becomes a portal into an unseen Kashmir, one where bread is more than sustenance; it is survival, spirit, and social glue.This episode was made possible by the support of @heirloomcities

Communion with God is more than an act of ritual. It is an invitation to a lifestyle of intimacy, dependence, and remembrance. The imagery of bread and wine shows us how easily we fill our lives with culture, work, and even good things, while neglecting the true fulfillment that only comes from remaining in Christ. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how the practice of Communion reminds us to reorder our priorities, abide in Christ, and find lasting fulfillment in His presence, an invitation that can transform every part of our lives.

MORE THAN A BOOK | BREAD by Pastor Dan DeBell

In a faith-filled and encouraging message titled “If You Are Hungry and Thirsty… Then Don't Miss the Picnic!” Bishop John E. Putnam reminds us that the deepest longings of our hearts can only be satisfied in Christ. Preaching from Matthew 5, John 6, and the miracles of Jesus, Bishop Putnam paints a vivid picture of the spiritual feast God spreads before His people each time they gather in His presence. Just as Jesus fed the multitudes with five loaves and two fish, He still meets every hunger and thirst today—healing the sick, restoring the broken, and filling lives with peace, joy, and righteousness. Bishop Putnam challenges us to bring whatever we have, no matter how small, and place it in the hands of the Master, trusting that He will multiply it beyond what we could imagine. This message is not just an invitation to a church picnic—it is a call to never miss the opportunity to encounter Jesus, who is the Bread of Life and the Living Water. Whether you need healing, deliverance, encouragement, or simply a fresh touch of His Spirit, “Don't Miss the Picnic” will remind you that in God's presence, you will always leave filled.

After all he had a whole bunch of squid money and just wanted to fix his relationship with his estranged daughter. But upon seeing the notorious and mysterious "recruiter," he decided instead to go on a John Wick path of vengeance. He's so vengeful!The guys talk the first episode of Season 2: Bread and Lottery, and along the way discuss whether or not there really even needed to be a season 2 of this show. They also talk the new characters, motivations, and give out plenty of squid facts

In this episode of the Mark and Pete Podcast, we rise to the occasion with three very different but equally fascinating stories. First, Mark and Pete chew over the Hovis–Kingsmill merger, asking whether two of Britain's biggest bread brands combining is good news for the consumer or just a corporate loaf too far. Expect plenty of puns, poetry, and a reminder from Scripture about trusting God for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11). Next, we pause to remember Biddy Baxter, the legendary Blue Peter editor who shaped generations of children's television. With her passing at the age of 92, we revisit her legacy of imagination, badges, and of course the immortal catchphrase: “Here's one I made earlier.” Pete links her work to Proverbs 22:6 — training up a child in the way they should go — while Mark offers one of his trademark poetic tributes. Finally, we celebrate sporting greatness as Armand Duplantis breaks the world pole vault record for the 13th time — his third this year. With humour, insight, and Philippians 3:14 ringing in our ears, Mark and Pete explore what it means to press on toward the goal. A blend of wit, wisdom, poetry, and Bible commentary — this is classic Mark and Pete.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

John 7:1-24,After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. 2 Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. 3 So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For not even his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” (ESV) Hey brothers, man, am I excited about the Gospel of John. It's my hope that throughout this series, our attention will keep coming back to John 20:31, which reads: “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.The point of John's gospel, in other words, isn't just believe, full stop, then go on with your life. Rather, the point is “have life” in him. The point is new life, abundant life, life even now leading to eternal life in, with, and for him. Believing, in other words, is not the end, but the means to real life in Jesus.Well, it's been a while since our church was last together in the book of John. In fact, the text message that I just read to you was one that I received from one of the other pastors back in December of last year, just prior to us first starting out in this series through John.Since that point, we, as a church, have been the glad recipients of much of John's eye-witness testimony of Jesus, up to the end of John chapter 6. And that testimony includes:The fact that Jesus is God. John 1:1,“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And, as God, Jesus also became man. John 1:14,“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”And, as the God-man, Jesus came here, John 3:17, “[not] to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Saved in the sense of John 20:31 — the receiving of life, having life, in Jesus. We want that life, Cities Church. More than we want food in our stomachs, or air in our lungs, we want that life, that true life, that real life that can only ever be found in Jesus. But, we didn't always want it.See, because John has also shown us John 1:10, that though Jesus “was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.” And that, “He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.” And that, “This is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people [just like you and me] loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.”And it's that last part — the fact that people, comfortable in their sin and content to dwell in darkness, didn't like being exposed by the light's entrance into the world — that Jesus is getting at here in John chapter 7, and most obviously verse 7. It's there where, talking with his brothers, Jesus says,“The world cannot hate you, but it hates me [it hates me. The world that was made through me. The world that I uphold by the word of my power, the world that I love and came to save, hates me] because I testify about it that its works are evil.”I testify to the world that they are not in the light, but darkness. That they are not basically good, but sinful. That they are not in right standing before God, but active rebellion to him.I tell them this because it's true. I tell them this because I love them. I tell them this because they are all, every last one of them, on a train bound for Hell and I want them to get off of it. I left Heaven to come and tell them this, and they hate me for it. Cities Church, friends who are visiting with us this morning, we must take care how we hear Jesus. In this text, Jesus is going to expose our darkness and show it to us in four different ways. These four ways can either serve as four more reasons to hate Jesus because we prefer our darkness, or they can serve as four more opportunities to recognize the darkness yet remaining in us and turn from it in order to pursue even greater intimacy with Jesus.So, with that, let's pray together once more…So, four marks of darkness. And they offer four opportunities to recognize it in ourselves and turn from it. Those four include: Un-belief, self-will, law-breaking, and wrong-judgment.1. The Evil of UnbeliefLook with me at verse 2:Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. 3 So his brothers [as in, his biologically related brothers] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.”Works like turning water into wine in John 2, healing an official's son in John 4, feeding the 5,000 in John 6, and then walking on the water in John 6. It's works like those that Jesus' brothers are saying, “Go, that your other disciples will see them to.”And it's difficult to tell what exactly their motivation is. But from the context, I'd argue that it's something along the lines of desire to maintain a following — maintain popularity. After all, if you look back with me to John 6, you'll see that just prior to this moment, Jesus' ministry had taken quite a hit in terms of numbers. Following the feeding of the 5,000 — Jesus had upped-the-ante by calling himself the Bread of Life. He then upped it again by saying,“Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before!” (John 6:61-62)And for many of Jesus' followers at that time, well, that was just too much. Verse 66 reads,“After this, many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.”Imagine being the sibling of the guy who draws thousands. Till, suddenly, you're the sibling of the guy who now only draws hundreds. Well, regardless of the brothers' motivation, their word to Jesus is essentially “Jesus, get back into the limelight.” Verse 3,“Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” And now, if it weren't for John's comment in verse 5, we'd likely just dismiss these words as relatively harmless. Perhaps well-intentioned, but a bit misguided. As it is though, John jumps in and tells us flat out. Verse 5,“For [as in, the reason they said this to Jesus, was because] not even his brothers believed in him.”Do you see the unbelief of the world present in Jesus' own brothers?And now, to clarify, I don't take “not even his brothers believed in him” to mean the brothers didn't believe anything about him. Like, didn't believe Jesus was anything other than a completely ordinary guy without any special qualities whatsoever. I don't think that's what John is saying here.Rather, I think he's saying that the brothers' unbelief matched that of the crowd's back in chapter 6. Look back with me at John 6:14 for a moment. Chapter 6, verse 14. You can see that the crowds there called Jesus a prophet, right? That's a big claim. To call someone a prophet is to declare this is a person who speaks the very words of God.And, in fact, they were so impressed by this prophet that they even wanted to make him king. In John 6:15, it tells us that they were even ready to make him king by force if they had to. So clearly this crowd believed Jesus was special.They believed he was an unusually impressive, and godly person. But, did they believe he was the Bread of Life? Did they believe he'd ascend back into heaven? No, because when Jesus said he would, they left! They believed some things about Jesus, but those some things had a limit. And, for them, Jesus had just hit it.Friends, the fundamental question that we must all ask ourselves — the question that ultimately separates those who belong to God from those who don't — is not whether we believe some things about Jesus, but whether we believe Jesus and what he says about himself. He says he is the Son of God sent from heaven. He says he is the giver of eternal life who himself has existed eternally with the Father. Do we believe him? His brothers didn't. The crowds didn't. Do we? Do you?First mark of darkness and evil: unbelief (Jesus, I don't believe what you say about yourself).Well as we can see in verse 8, Jesus will deny his brothers' request. He'll hang back in Galilee for a bit longer. And in verses 10-13, we're given a brief look into how Jesus was being perceived in that moment by the crowds in Jerusalem: “He's a good man,” or “He's leading the people astray.” Importantly, we're also told in verse 10 that Jesus does end up going to the feast, but not in the way his brothers wanted him to. In fact, verse 14 shows us that he doesn't even appear till halfway through the feast. And this is where the table is set for our second mark of darkness: Self-will. And here we'll begin to pick up the speed a bit.2. The Evil of Self-willLook there with me, verse 14:About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”And now, the litmus test. Jesus is going to give a litmus test and, spoiler alert, everyone's going to fail it... Everyone.See it with me, verse 17:“If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.”In other words, “You're confused about where my teaching comes from, yes? Well, here's how you can know whether my teaching comes from God or not. Ready for it? You must will what God wills.”Again, verse 17:“If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.”Of course, no one in that crowd knew whether his teaching came from God or not. Which of course means that no one in that crowd actually willed what God willed. You see it? Their lack of ability to understand Jesus, to hear and recognize the Divine origin of Jesus' words, betrayed the fact that God's will was not their own.That's the second mark of darkness — self-will. Living a my will, not thy will life. A life that says, “hey, listen God, I call the shots here. You can help me with the pains of life. You can be my therapy. You can be my provider. I'll let you do those things. But I steer.”It's self-will. And as you can see in this text, it blinds people from knowing Jesus. It makes it impossible to find life in Jesus. Self-will is self-destructive because it creates a wall between you and Jesus' teaching. Jesus says you will not understand the unique authority of my words till your will conforms to God's.So we have (1) unbelief, (2) self-will, and here's the third mark: Law-breaking. 3. The Evil of Law-breakingJump with me down to verse 19:“Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law.”That's quite the sweeping statement.“…none of you keeps the law.”None. He's addressing a massive, festival-sized crowd, packed in like sardines to the Temple courts of Jerusalem. And he's saying across the board, with no exceptions, no outliers, “…none of you keeps the law.”And if you are familiar with the Bible, you're probably not surprised by this. From the Old Testament to the New, the Bible is consistent in terms of what it has to say about mankind on our own. Psalm 14:3, says,“There is none who does good, not even one.”Jeremiah 17:9,“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick;”Romans 3:23,“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” 1 John 1:8,“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,”The Bible is clear — no one, by nature, keeps the Law. We know this from the Bible, and if we're honest, we know this from our lives. Sure, the way we like to say it is “I know I'm not perfect” but the fact is, that means we're sinful. That means we've fallen short.The fact that we're sinful and break God's Law is no small thing. It is the reason we're here rather than Eden. It is the reason many are headed to hell, not heaven. Our standing before God's Law is of eternal consequence.Now, if those in the crowd weren't convinced, Jesus goes one step further. Verse 19:“Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”You know they are seeking to kill Jesus, right?John 7:1 says they're seeking to kill Jesus. Here, verse 19 says they're seeking to kill Jesus. In verse 13, the crowds are so aware of the murderous intentions of the religious leaders they don't even want to be caught with Jesus' name in their mouths. And going all the way back to John 5:18, John notes,“This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him.”You don't follow the Law. You think you do. You even think you do while you simultaneously plot my murder. Third mark of worldliness: law-breaking. Now, fourth and final mark of worldliness: Wrong Judgment. 4. The Evil of Wrong JudgmentNow, think back to what happened in chapter 5 because it's going to come up again here. Back there, in chapter 5, Jesus healed a man who'd been paralyzed for 38 years. He healed him with words: “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” The religious leaders did not celebrate that moment. Rather, when they saw the man walking with his mat, they said, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” Can you imagine? Wow, today is the best day of my life. I've been healed by a miracle. Look, my legs work! Look, my hands work! Look… and then all of a sudden, “Put your bed down. How dare you carry your bed on the Sabbath.”And now, just to clarify, you can check your Old Testament. There is no such Law from God saying you couldn't take up your bed on the Sabbath. Jewish rabbis came up with that rule. It was man's rule, not God's rule. And, here, Jesus is saying it was a bad rule. Why?Well, judge for yourself. Chapter 7, verses 22-23. Again, the idea here is wrong judgment. John 7:22-23, “You circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?”Jesus asks, are you angry with me? I gave the ability to walk to this man. The ability to swing his arms, turn his hands, go from one place to the other without having to be picked up and carried there. That man could now work. Could make money. Could buy a home. Could make a life for himself. And you're angry at me for telling him to pick up his bed?Look, we need to be so careful here because, to us, this looks just so obvious… “How foolish of those religious teachers? How dull did they have to be?” We read this and envision ourselves standing shoulder to shoulder with Jesus rolling our eyes along with him, saying, “can you believe it?”But, here's the thing, we are the religious leaders in this scene. We are those who get things wrong. We make wrong judgments.We put up laws where there are none. We disregard and ignore where there are laws. We are not, by nature, good judges when it comes to life, when it comes to Law. Even as believers, we can read some of the things Jesus said and did and think, “Man, if that'd be me, I'd not have done it that way… Not have been as patient here. Not have been as direct there. Not have waited for three days. Not have left to go to the next town. Not have spent time up in Galilee. Not have sat down with prostitutes and tax collectors.And we would not have done it because often we're simply judging things by outward appearance, just calling things as we see them. That's what Jesus is saying in verse 24:“Do not judge by appearances.”Don't simply look at the outward form of something and go from there. Don't judge through the eyes of the world, but through Jesus' eyes. Through the lens of Scripture. Judge, verse 24, “with right judgment.”Cities Church, we have to humble ourselves here. We have to recognize our need, our incredible need, for God to take us by the hand and show us through his word by his Spirit with the help of godly counsel, how to judge. We need his direction. This is why we ought to pray more often than we do: “Father, Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”God, you do all that is right in glory. Do it here, through me, in this world. Use me, use us, to assess the world in the way you'd want us to. So there's four marks, four assessments of the darkness yet remaining in us. And these four, of course, relate directly to the baptismal waters out in front of me.I Believe JesusIn baptism, we say, “I believe what Jesus tells me about himself. I confess he is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the Giver of life eternal.”In baptism, we say, “My self-will is no more. It's gone down into the waters. It's been buried. I follow God's will for my life. I obey him including his command to be baptized in his name.”In baptism, we say, “I am a breaker of God's Law. I've sinned. I need forgiveness. I must not be clothed in my own righteousness — I have none. I must have Jesus' name put upon me. I must have Jesus' righteousness cover me.”And, in baptism, we say, “Jesus, you are the one who can make my whole body, even my soul, well. And you've seen fit to do so in a way I'd not expect. In a way I'd not, of my own accord, judge as right — by sending your Son to die in my place and allowing me to receive forgiveness not by my own working, or earning, but by believing in yours for me.In just a moment, five individuals will come to proclaim this belief.Let's pray…

Join us  as we worship the Lord, fellowship, and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! In John 6, following His miracle of feeding the 5000, Jesus gives a long discourse that is tied into that miracle. In the middle of His discourse Jesus declares, "I AM the Bread of Life" (John 6:35). His first of seven I AM statements in this Gospel. This whole discourse is packed with powerful truths about how only Christ ultimately satisfies. When we truly come to Jesus, and believe in Him, we are coming to One with whom we are safe, and through whom we are given eternal life. A life that begins now!

How do social movements arise, wield power, and bring about meaningful change? Renowned scholar Linda Gordon investigates these and other salient questions in this “visionary, cautionary, timely, and utterly necessary book” (Nicole Eustace), narrating how some of America's most influential twentieth-century social movements transformed the nation.Beginning with the turn-of-the century settlement house movement, the book compares Chicago's celebrated Hull-House, begun by privileged women, to a much less well known African American project, Cleveland's Phillis Wheatley House, begun by a former sharecropper. Expanding her highly praised book The Second Coming of the KKK, the second chapter shows how a northern Klan became a mass movement in the 1920s. Contrary to what many Klan opponents thought, this KKK was a middle-class organization, its members primarily urban and well educated. In the 1930s, the KKK gave birth to dozens of American fascist groups—small but extremely violent. Profiles of two other 1930s movements follow: the Townsend campaign for old-age insurance, named for its charismatic leader, Dr. Francis Townsend. It created the public pressure that brought us Social Security, which was considered radical at the time, as was the movement to bring about federal unemployment aid for millions.Proceeding to the 1955–1956 Montgomery bus boycott—which jump-started the career of Martin Luther King, Jr.—the narrative shows how the city's entire Black population refused to ride segregated buses; initiated by Black women, their years-long, hard-fought victory inspired the civil rights movement. Gordon then examines the 1970s farmworkers struggle, led by Cesar Chavez and made possible by the work of tens of thousands of the primarily Mexican American farmworkers. Together they built the United Farm Workers Union, winning better wages and working conditions for some of the country's poorest workers. The book concludes with the dramatic stories of two Boston socialist feminist groups, Bread and Roses and the Combahee River Collective, which influenced the whole women's liberation movement. Linda Gordon is professor emerita of history and University Professor of the Humanities at New York University. She is the winner of two Bancroft prizes for best book in American History.  Her previous work includes The Second Coming of the KKK and a biography of the photographer Dorothea Lange.
