Scripture Reference: John 6:22-37, 53-54 After Jesus miraculously feeds over 5,000 people, a large number of people start gaining interest in and following this Jewish Rabbi. In Jesus discourse that follows, he reveals all the ways that we look for life apart from Jesus, and then calls all to feed on and find life in Him. Do we want the food that will never perish? Sermon Points: Laboring for perishing food (vv. 22-27) Feasting on imperishable food (vv. 28-37, 53-54)

Hello!Welcome back to another archaeogastronomical adventure!I couldn't help myself but having Odyssey as my inspiration for this week's episode!As you probably have heard Christopher Nolan has his epic film Odyssey in official release this Friday 17th of July 2026 so I thought what better way to dive into the ancient Homeric epic poem than exploring their foods, cooking, dishes and the meaning of xenia, hospitality, kindness to strangers and welcoming others into ones house?We will also dive into the real Bronze Age Greece and the archaeological discoveries there. What do these tell about feasting, communal eating and the food of the people in the Helladic world, three thousand years ago?Enjoy!The recommendations for this week are:Did Roman Britain Ever End?Nicholas J.

Text: John 6:26-35; 7:37-38 Preacher: Derek Baker
Mark 2 with Bryan Rouanzoin Sabbath teaches us to feast -- to truly delight in all God has provided. We remind ourselves of God's abundance in a world of scarcity.
In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle sits down with church planter, coach, and author Marc Lucenius, lead pastor of 938 Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Marc recently released his new book, Rest for the Restless, a practical and deeply personal exploration of how leaders can sustain healthy ministry without sacrificing their souls. Marc shares the story of planting 938 Church with Stadia Church Planting, navigating the challenges of launching a church just before the pandemic, and leading through the uncertainty that followed. Along the way, he learned firsthand the dangers of burnout, resentment, self-pity, and the relentless pressure many church leaders place on themselves. Drawing from his own experiences and years of ministry leadership, Marc unpacks the biblical principle of Sabbath—not simply as a day off, but as a way of life rooted in trust, enjoyment, and freedom. He challenges the common assumption that productivity and spiritual maturity are the same thing and offers a healthier vision of leadership that flows from rest rather than striving. Greg and Marc also discuss how our personal stories shape our relationship with work, achievement, and ministry. They explore practical ways leaders can embrace rhythms of rest, cultivate meaningful friendships, process emotional wounds, and avoid the subtle traps of burnout. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder that sustainable ministry isn't about slowing down ambition—it's about learning to live and lead from a place of wholeness, trust, and joy in what God has already accomplished.

This week I'm talking about Moses's warning in Deuteronomy: beware lest thou forget the Lord. As the Israelites prepared to enter the promised land, the danger wasn't just hardship — it was comfort. It was receiving blessings and then forgetting where they came from. I share thoughts about putting the word of God in our hearts, letting the Lord soften and heal us, remembering His hand in our lives, and opening our hands wide to bless others. When we choose God, serve His children, and remember Him in both our wilderness and our promised lands, He helps us make it home.

"Feasting on Jesus" Sunday morning's sermon from Pastor Jeff Colón Website: www.lighthouseontherockky.org
When most people hear the word worship, they think of people gathered together singing. But there is more to it. Dr. Sam Storms shares from his book, "Understanding Worship: Biblical Foundations for Delighting in and Feasting on God." He'll encourage us to approach God with a heart ready to receive all his goodness as we find our delight and satisfaction in God's love.

Neolithic peoples made the transition from being nomadic hunter-gatherers to crop-growing farmers, and their diets are the subject of numerous studies.Archaeological evidence informs us about the farming and foraging activities of these ancient peoples, but it's unusual to get a first hand taste of how it might have been to forage on the shore and land! On the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the arts organisation, Haar, facilitated an opportunity to sit down to an interpretation of a Stone Age feast - albeit with considerable artistic and culinary licence! The event was centered around the 5000-year-old Calanais standing stone circle. Nancy Nicolson joined the foragers to find out about the farming and feasting habits of our ancestors, and met one of the crofters whose sheep today graze the machair, the strip of flower and herb-rich land that borders the sea and which it is believed contributed to the flavours and nutrition of the food Neolithic people ate.Produced and presented by Nancy Nicolson.
Shelby Stroud is filling in for Melanie this week Shelby talks about the tabernacle, sacrifice, repentance, and what it means to offer the Lord a broken heart and a contrite spirit. With stories about fake pearls, seminary whiteboards, Sunday homework, and the unique gifts God gives each of us, she points us back to Jesus Christ — our High Priest, our scapegoat, and the One who makes us holy.

This episode is about the whining and complaining Israelites. What's new? I loved in the intro how it said, "...the children of Israel needed, not to cover the geographical distance but to cover the spiritual distance: the distance between who they were and who the Lord needed them to become." So it is with us! If we stop complaining, we'll get to the land of milk and honey much faster and become who the Lord wants us to become.

Is There a Hidden Power of Communion in a Hopeless Age? Hannah Miller King joins Curtis Chang on the Good Faith podcast to discuss her book Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness and why communion is more than a symbolic church ritual. Together, they explore the Lord's Supper, Christian hope, embodied worship, and how the table of God forms Christians to resist consumer culture and carry resurrection-shaped love into a hopeless world. They discuss why this embodied practice connects believers to Christ's past sacrifice, present grace, and future return and show how the practice retrains our loves and sends us outward in mission. 02:28 - What Does Union with Christ Look Like Across All Traditions? 05:04 - The Differences: Symbolic vs. Sacramental Views 12:13 - Does the Lord's Supper Connect to Daily Life? 15:40 - Is It a Means of Hope in a Hopeless World? 26:40 - Is The Richness In "Remembering" Christ's Past, Present, and Future? 29:50 - Detaching From Worldly Loves to Re-Attach to God 33:10 - The Power of Routine Practice 35:09 - A Commission to Welcome Others Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List Mentioned In This Episode: Hannah Miller King's book — Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness Scriptures Referenced: Luke 22:19 (ESV) The Last Supper / Institution of Communion: Luke 22:14–20 (ESV), Matthew 26:26–29 (ESV), or Mark 14:22–25 (ESV) 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (ESV) Revelation 19:6–9 (ESV) Exodus 12 (ESV) More from Hannah Miller King: Hannah Miller King's article at Christianity Today Hannah Miller King's website Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

In this episode, I'm talking about Jesus Christ as our Advocate — not just someday at judgment, but right now, in the middle of our messy, mortal lives. I share what I learned while studying the word advocate, how the Holy Ghost helps bring Christ's advocacy into our hearts, and why staying close to the Spirit matters so much. I also share a personal scripture moment from 2 Corinthians 8 that reminded me the Lord accepts what we can offer, not what we can't. Christ is beside us, cheering for us, pleading for us, strengthening us, and helping us come home.

What does it mean to feast in a world that rarely slows down long enough to celebrate? In this episode, Worship Pastor Marty Reardon is joined by Pastors in Residence Chris and Caroline Hiler Albert to explore the meaning of Eastertide—the season of rejoicing in the resurrection of Jesus. Together, they unpack the contrast between Lent and Easter, the difference between cultural “treating” and true biblical feasting, and why celebration is actually a spiritual discipline. From long, unhurried meals to creativity, community, and embodied joy, this conversation invites us to resist the rush of modern life and embrace a deeper, richer way of living as people of the resurrection.

In the African American home I was raised in, meals often included scrumptious “soul food.” The term originated in the mid-1960s when “soul” was a common term used to describe African American culture. Soul food menu items included fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, greens, sweet potatoes, corn bread, and more. Desserts were a bonus; the “tastebud-tickling” peach cobbler was the most satisfying to me. What a feast! Feasting in different cultures looks different but, because food is essential for life, Jesus’ words in John 6:35 are significant for all people. “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Such claims as these would be outrageous if they were made by a mere human being. But Jesus, the Christ, could make such astounding claims because He’s the very Son of God. He told “sign-seekers”—those seeking immediate, short-term benefit (see vv. 2, 14, 26)—that satisfaction of physical hunger wasn’t enough. As the Son of God, Jesus is the source of true life (14:6) and the sustainer of life. All those who believe in Him for the forgiveness of sins through His death and resurrection (11:25-26) share His life. Jesus is the essential food for the soul. Life, nourishment, and true satisfaction are found in Him alone.
