In a chapel sermon, Rev. Chris Barnard of Grace OPC in Hanover Park, IL, expounds on Exodus 16-1-12. He connects this passage about God providing manna to the Israelites to the account in John 6, where Jesus feeds the five thousand. Drawing parallels between the two stories, Rev. Barnard highlights how they both point to Jesus as the true bread from heaven that gives eternal life. Just as God sustained the Israelites physically with manna in the wilderness, Jesus sustains us spiritually as the bread of life who came down from heaven. Rev. Barnard encourages us to feed on Christ by trusting in his finished work for our salvation.

From attending weekly services to participating in evangelism efforts, there is something for everyone to be involved in. The Boardwalk Chapel is a welcoming and supportive community that is committed to sharing the Gospel with others. Pray for the leaders, staff, and evangelism efforts of the Boardwalk Chapel.

I had the honor again to exhort the word of God for the saints at my church, Grace OPC. I have wanted to preach Romans 8:31-39 for a while. It is such an assuring text teaching the love God has for believers in Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. I hope this exhortation blesses you and helps to give you confidence in God's love for you and your eternal destiny with Him forever.

On this last Lord's Day, I had the honor of exhorting in the morning at Calvary OPC in Ringoes, NJ and in the evening at my church, Grace OPC in Hamilton, NJ. I was scheduled to be in the pulpit at my church already but was called in for a pulpit supply on shorter notice for Calvary. I was already working on 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 so I preached this text at both churches. Here is the recording from the evening service at Grace. May this encourage you and bless you. May God bless this message. If you are looking for a reformed church, I have linked to both churches below and an OPC church finder.
