John 6:1-12

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack walks through John 6:44 and considers what Jesus teaches about human depravity, our inability to come to Christ apart from grace, God's sovereign work in salvation, assurance, and the perseverance of the saints. What does it mean for the Father to “draw” someone to Christ? How can a Christian know that he or she has been drawn? And if salvation ultimately begins with God rather than us, what does that mean for our assurance? Connect Website & Blog: www.chorusinthechaos.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chorusinthec...

There are times when following Jesus is easy—when His promises comfort us, His blessings encourage us, and His presence gives us peace. But what happens when Jesus says something we don't understand? What happens when His teaching challenges our beliefs, our priorities, or our way of life? In John 6:60–69, many of Jesus' disciples reach a difficult crossroads. They hear His teaching and say, “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” Some turn away and walk with Him no more. But Jesus turns to the twelve and asks, “Will ye also go away?” Peter's response gives us one of the most powerful declarations of faith in Scripture: “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” This episode looks at what happens when following Jesus becomes difficult—and why faith means continuing to follow Him even when we don't understand everything He says. Sometimes the question isn't whether Jesus' teaching is difficult. The question is whether we trust the One who is teaching us.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for August 4th, day 217 in our journey through scripture. Join your Bible reading coach Hunter as we unite from around the world to reflect on God's Word and the love that holds us together. In today's episode, we delve into the story of King Josiah's rediscovery of the lost Book of the Law in the temple, explore his deep repentance and the spiritual renewal of a nation, and move into John chapter 6 where Jesus reveals himself as the true bread of life. Together, we'll meditate on what it means to recognize God's presence at work—sometimes hidden in plain sight—and to find ultimate satisfaction in him. Settle in as we open our hearts, seek understanding, and renew our faith in the living Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The living Word, hidden in plain sight. For generations, the Word of God was lost among God's people—lost, tragically, in the very place you'd expect to find it: the temple. It was there, but no one was looking. No one was listening. Eventually, King Josiah would find it, and with it, a deep awareness of God's presence and his own need for mercy. In our reading from John, we encounter a similar pattern: Jesus, the living Word, is right among his people in the synagogue, but still seems hidden from them. They watch miracles unfold before their eyes—the feeding of the multitudes, healings, signs—and yet they do not see or believe. Only God reveals God. Miraculous signs point to Jesus as the one who truly satisfies, the bread of life come down from heaven. But so often, we can lose sight of him amid the ruins of our own lives—our painful pasts, our self-centered paths. Even among God's own people, we can miss him, as if he's hidden in plain sight. We chase after perishable things, obsessing over what fills our bellies, our desires, our plans. Yet Jesus gently calls us to fix our gaze upon him, to seek what only he can give: true, eternal life. If we take our eyes off ourselves, even for a moment, we might see the one who is standing before us—the one who can truly fill us. Jesus calls us to trust him, to rely on him rather than our own strength. Like Peter, who, when confronted by the miraculous catch of fish, fell to his knees acknowledging his need for grace; like Josiah, who, upon finding the Word, tore his clothes and sought God's mercy—so we too are called to humble ourselves, to see what has always been waiting for us. Are you seeing the Word of God that is right before you? The God who provides, who is merciful, who has come down for you? He is not hidden from you. He longs to satisfy you with his bread. May you find the living Word right in front of you today. May you take and eat, and be truly satisfied. That is the prayer I hold for my own soul, for my family, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

In John 6, we read about how Jesus miraculously fed thousands of people from a single meal of five loaves of bread and two fish. But many of the people who partook of that meal, while recognizing Jesus' power, were only moved to follow Jesus so that they could have more bread. In today's message, Pastor Phil asks us to consider the question: "How do you see Jesus?" As a good teacher, a moral example, a problem solver, or as Lord and Savior? Jesus has come to save us from our sins so that we can live eternally with God, but we have to accept the salvation that He offers.

When Jesus miraculously fed more than five thousand people with five loaves and two fish, the crowd was amazed. Yet many followed Him afterward not because they understood who He was, but because they wanted another free meal. In this episode, we'll explore the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:5-14) and Jesus' conversation with the crowd (John 6:24-30). We'll discover the difference between seeking God's blessings and seeking God Himself. Are we following Jesus because of what He can do for us, or because He is our Savior and Lord?
Do Not Work for Food That Perishes - John 6:1–15 & 22–27 Marcus Somerville - Sun 26th July 2026 Download
Storms are inevitable. Sometimes life is smooth sailing, and then suddenly everything changes—a difficult diagnosis, financial hardship, broken relationships, or unexpected suffering. How should Christians respond when the storms of life come?In this sermon from John 6:16–21, we see that Jesus does not promise His disciples a life free from trials. Instead, He faithfully shepherds His people through every storm. As the disciples struggle against the wind and waves, Jesus reveals Himself as the great "I AM," intercedes for His people, and ultimately brings them safely to shore. This passage reminds believers that no storm is outside Christ's sovereign care, and that every trial is an opportunity to know Him more deeply while looking ahead to the eternal harbor He has prepared for His people.Questions for Reflection & DiscussionWhy is it important to remember that Jesus Himself sent the disciples into the storm?How does Jesus' present ministry of intercession encourage believers facing suffering today (Hebrews 7:25)?What does Jesus walking on the sea reveal about His identity?Why is Jesus' statement, "It is I" ("I AM"), so significant in John's Gospel?How have difficult seasons of life helped you know Christ more deeply?Why shouldn't Christians expect every storm to end in this life?How does the promise of our eternal home give hope in present suffering?Which of the four truths from this passage most encouraged you personally?Sermon OutlineJesus in the StormJohn 6:16–21Jesus Sends Us into the Storm (John 6:16–18)Jesus Prays for Us during the Storm (John 6:15; Matthew 14:22–23; Hebrews 7:25)Jesus Reveals Himself to Us through the Storm (John 6:19–20)Jesus Draws Us Out of the Storm (John 6:20–21; 2 Corinthians 4:16–18)Main Idea:The Good Shepherd does not promise a storm-free life, but He faithfully shepherds His people through every storm until He safely brings them home.
What is the purpose of the Lord's Supper? Is it simply a church tradition, or is it something much deeper? In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we explore what Jesus meant when He instituted the Lord's Supper and why believers are commanded to continue observing it. We'll examine Jesus' teaching in John 6, His institution of the Lord's Supper during the Last Supper in Luke 22, and Paul's instructions to the church in 1 Corinthians 11 about participating in a worthy manner. Together, we'll discover that Communion is a sacred act of remembrance, self-examination, proclamation, and hope as we look forward to Christ's return. Join us as we learn how the Lord's Supper strengthens our faith and keeps our focus on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
In John 6, the crowd, or “the Jews,” reveal their hard hearts towards Jesus as He speaks to the reality that He is the Bread of Life. He has with clarity claimed, “I AM.” Self-disclosed revelation that He is Yahweh incarnate. As the crowd rejects Jesus, we would expect that He would be welcomed by His disciples, but that is not the case. We will see in our passage that “many of his disciples turned back.” Here is a call to search our own hearts, as we can be easily self-deceived: “Am I like these disciples and Judas, or am I like the Eleven who will faithfully follow Christ Jesus all the days of my life?”

The feeding of the five thousand is one of only two miracles recorded in all four Gospels, highlighting its unique importance. Why did every Gospel writer include it? In John 6:1–15, this miracle reveals who Jesus is. He is the greater Moses who delivers His people, the compassionate Savior who sees our needs, the Lord who tests and strengthens our faith, the One who uses small things to accomplish great purposes, the abundant Provider who satisfies His people, and the humble King who came to serve rather than be served. Join us as we discover six great truths about Jesus and why He alone deserves our trust and worship.Discussion QuestionsWhy do you think the feeding of the five thousand is recorded in all four Gospels?How does John present Jesus as the greater Moses in this passage?What comfort do you find in knowing that Jesus sees and cares for your needs?How have you experienced God using difficult circumstances to test and strengthen your faith?What "small" act of obedience might God be calling you to trust Him with this week?How does Jesus' miraculous provision point beyond physical bread to our deeper spiritual needs?Why did Jesus refuse to let the crowd make Him king, and what does that teach us about His mission?Which of the six truths about Jesus most encouraged or challenged you, and why?Sermon OutlineTitle: Six Great Truths About JesusText: John 6:1–15Jesus Is the Greater Moses (vv. 1–4)Jesus Sees Our Needs (v. 5)Jesus Tests Our Faith (vv. 5–7)Jesus Uses Small Things to Accomplish Great Things (vv. 8–9)Jesus Provides for His People (vv. 10–13)Jesus Is the Humble Savior (vv. 14–15)

Why I Believe in Jesus (John 6) by Josiah Graves
The greatest joy we will ever have is being in covenant with the Lord. We can only be in covenant with Him because of the substitutionary work of Jesus. We must never forget about the work of Christ Jesus on the cross. We must continually remind ourselves that Jesus freely and voluntarily gave His life as a sacrifice so that we would have life everlasting. Do we understand what happened at the cross, and do we give thanks to God for saving us from sin, condemnation, and eternal damnation? Praise yet our Christ again, Alleluia, Amen!

John 6:41-5141 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven'?”43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.'[d] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
John 6:28-3528 Then they asked Jesus, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'[c]”32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:5-115 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year's wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” These are the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 11:28. Jesus, as the Bread of Life who has come down from heaven, gives true satisfaction to the mind, heart, and soul. Those who do not feed upon Christ do not have forgiveness of sins, nor do they have a relationship with God. In Jesus, all the blessings and privileges of the covenant are given to God's children. Come, feast upon Jesus and let your souls be filled with eternal life and everlasting joy.
The crowds follow Jesus to the other side of the sea, and there, they ask him to perform a sign to prove that he has been sent by God. When they mention manna, Jesus reminds them that the manna came heaven, not from Moses. He thereby makes the case that he, himself is the bread of heaven. Then things get weird, for Jesus tells them that his followers must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life and be raised on the last day. Because of this, many of those who were following Jesus turned back and no longer accompanied Jesus and the other disciples. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
