Does This Offend You? John 6:53-70 w/Darren Tyler
In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Andrew McPheron and Jake Preston dive into John 6:22–40, where Jesus makes His first “I Am” statement: “I am the bread of life.”The crowds chase Jesus after the feeding of the 5,000—but not because they want Him. They want another miracle meal. Jesus, however, confronts their motives and points to something far greater: eternal life found only in Him.
“The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” (John 6:63 NLT) When you became a Christian, you did not do so by your own act of will. Yes, you believed. But it was the Holy Spirit who convicted you. The Holy Spirit showed you your need for Jesus. And the Holy Spirit ultimately converted you. That’s why Jesus said, “The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life” (John 6:63 nlt). And it’s why He said, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life” (John 3:5–6 NLT). Because the work of the Holy Spirit is so vital, the devil targets it in his attacks against us. More specifically, he tries to make us question the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. He tries to make us doubt what we know to be true. He tries to make us ask, “Was I really converted?” Unfortunately for us, the devil’s timing is usually impeccable. He prowls around after we’ve made a regrettable decision or given in to a troublesome temptation. He’ll try to make us feel like frauds, “pretend Christians.” He’ll raise doubts in our minds about whether the Holy Spirit really worked in our lives. He also tries to make our Christian faith feel like a burden or an obligation, or tries to make us believe that we’ve outgrown our faith—that it’s something that belongs in our past. Anything to distance us from the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We need to recognize the devil’s strategies and the lies behind them. The apostle Paul wrote, “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39 NLT). The Holy Spirit personally gives us the assurance that Christ has come into our lives. Paul also wrote, “For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are God’s children” (Romans 8:16 TLB). That is the wonderful inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit. You just know that you belong to Christ. It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. But it’s as real as the breath you’re drawing right now. I have that conviction in my heart. Do you? Has the Holy Spirit given you the inner conviction that, yes, you are a child of God? Reflection question: How did the Holy Spirit convert you?

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Andrew McPheron, Ethan Callison, Ken Nienke, and Robbie Willard unpack one of the most powerful moments in Scripture—Jesus walking on water (John 6:16–21).The disciples find themselves rowing three to four miles into a sudden, violent storm. Tired, frightened, and far from shore, they encounter Jesus walking toward them on the waves. His words—“It is I; do not be afraid”—reveal not just His power, but His presence in the middle of the storm.
In John 6:35, we see:Jesus is the one who heals all that is broken in man and satisfies the longing in our souls.
Offended By The Gospel (John 6:51-71)
Pastor Jerrill Wyler | John Series (AM)

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis on this episode of "I Love to Tell the Story," a podcast on the narrative lectionary for October 5th, 2025, as they explore the powerful story of manna in Exodus 16. After the Israelites' dramatic exodus from Egypt, they find themselves hungry and complaining in the wilderness, longing for the "flesh pots of Egypt." But God responds to their grumbling with miraculous provision - sending quail for meat and manna, the mysterious "bread from heaven" that would sustain them for 40 years. Our hosts dive deep into this foundational story, exploring themes of freedom versus security, God's faithful provision, and what it means to trust God day by day. Catherine connects this ancient story to Jesus' "Bread of Life" discourse in John 6, while Ralph shares insights about the "manna economy" - where everyone has enough and no one lacks. Discover how this wilderness story reveals both human nature and God's character as the ultimate provider, and learn why the manna stopped only when Israel was ready to enter the promised land.
In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Andrew and Ethan dive into one of the most well-known miracles in Scripture—Jesus feeding the 5,000—but show why this moment is so much more than a free lunch.Through rich Old Testament connections (think Moses, manna, Passover, and Elisha) and careful attention to Jesus' response to the crowd, the team unpacks the real message of the miracle: Jesus is the true Bread of Life, and He came not to set up a political kingdom, but to satisfy our deepest spiritual hunger.

In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss the latter part of John 6, taking on the themes of forgiveness, the identity of Jesus, and the implications of his teachings on communion (they understand the concept of eating Jesus' flesh to be metaphorical for internalizing his teachings and life). They explore the complexities of forgiveness, and how this issue often lacks clear biblical answers to our modern questions. The conclude by discussing the significance of Jesus' claims about himself, and the reactions of his followers, culminating in a pivotal moment where many disciples turn away (6:66). Peter's declaration of faith highlights the importance of loyalty to Jesus.

21 Ecclesiastes 3-5; 20 Proverbs 3; 43 John 6
In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss two miracles recorded in John 6:1-40 (the feeding of the 5000 and Jesus' walking on the water), recommending that many who wanted Jesus to be a king misunderstood his primary concern that his followers become truly human in thought and action. The motivations behind seeking Jesus are noted as being complex and often misguided, though Jesus' patience in motivating ultimate commitment and loyalty are always present. The conversation also touches on the metaphor of Jesus as the bread of life and the promise of resurrection, setting the stage for future discussions on these themes.
