There is a program on the Food Network called “Dinner Impossible”. On the show Chef Robert Irvine faces the challenge of preparing a huge dinner for a large crowd of people in a short amount of time. Well, in this week's message, we are going ...
John 6:1-15 "A Present God" When John wrote his version of the story of Jesus, he described Jesus performing seven miracles. He references that there were many more, but he focused his attention on those seven. Each miracle is an unique and intentional story of Jesus being present in the circumstancees of someone's life. In our Spring Sermon Series, we will explore each of these signs of Jesus' power, care, creativity, and investment in the lives of those he encountered. What we hope to discover in these stories of God's power in the lives of the people in these stories, is the present power of God in our own lives.
After being fed miraculously, many in a crowd of over 5,000 people began recognizing Jesus as the fulfillment of Moses' prophecy in DEUTERONOMY 18, when he said that in the future God would send them a Prophet like Moses. In this teaching, comparisons are made between Old and New Testament prophecy, as well as between Moses who brought the Law and Jesus, who brought grace and truth.

Do we sometimes get so used to our addictions or the habitual behaviors we know aren't good for us that we are unable to see there's something better for us? Or do we accept this behavior as normal because so many other people do the same thing? Or do we accept it since we cannot see any help available in this world? Just as a physician tends to the sick, so also Jesus came to us. But, for a multitude of reasons, we sometimes don't want to be healed. By Peter's example, Jesus said that if we don't let Him help us, we have no part with Him in that way. In message four of Midtown's Questions Series, we learn more about how God loves us as we are and wants us to come to Him as we are.
Often life crowds us—-keeping us from seeing Him. When asked how to handle things beyond our abilities, we still tend to look within our own means to handle them. Just before Christ feeds 5,000 men and their families, He asks His disciples, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” Although we try almost continually, we can't seem to find fulfillment for our own hunger—-whether via relationships, addictions, or any other humanly pursuit we pine after. In part three of Midtown's Questions Series, Randy points out that God has provided a beautiful and feast-worthy table for us that can truly fill our seemingly insatiable hunger for more.
