Pastor Al Dagel shares a beautiful picture of Who Jesus is, using Jesus' own words to paint that picture.

John 6:48-59 andHeidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 25

In this sermon we take a close look at the Old Testament Tabernacle and examine what it reveals to us about the Heavenly Tabernacle. We draw insights on how we could apply these to our walk as believers and our daily fellowship with God. 1. Live daily in the power of the cross offering ourselves as a living sacrifice (altar of sacrifice). 2. Continually have a clear conscience, clean heart and full assurance of faith, cleansed by the blood, God's Word and Spirit (basin for washing). 3. Worship God and walk in the Spirit and the revelation He brings (lampstand, oil and light). 4. Feed on the Word (bread) and fellowship with Jesus the Living Bread (table of showbread). 5. Continually offer Praise, Worship and Prayer (altar of incense). 6. Embrace God's Covenant – His Word, His Provision, Christ our High Priest (ark of the covenant). 7. Dwell in His presence, listening to His voice, enjoying constant communion with God through Christ (mercy seat).

From Desert Manna to Living Bread of Jesus: Trusting the Giver Today's Homily reflects on Jesus' words, “Whoever has ears ought to hear,” . . . . . . urging deep, attentive listening to God's Word. Drawing on Israel's experience in the desert, it warns against forgetting God's past goodness when facing present challenges, and cautions against grumbling, mistrust, and spiritual immaturity. The Parable of the Sower The parable of the Sower illustrates God's generous scattering of His Word everywhere, but also the varying receptivity of human hearts . . . whether hard, shallow, thorn-choked, or fertile. The example of Mary, who received the Word in her heart before in her womb, shows the ideal receptivity that allows God's Word to take root and bear abundant fruit. The Eucharist is presented as both true heavenly bread and the seed of Christ's life planted in believers, intended to grow and produce lasting spiritual fruit. The call is to prepare the “soil” of our hearts and ears to receive, retain, and live God's Word. Hear more within this Meditation Media. Listen to: From Desert Manna to Living Bread of Jesus: Trusting the Giver -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily It is a response to a lack of trust. It's a response to a lack of confidence and a refusal to understand that when God does anything, there's always a point. There's always a purpose. When grace comes into our lives, it always has a direction to it. It always leads us somewhere. But one only grows spiritually when one learns to trust the movement of grace and trust requires the risk of not always understanding right away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Image Parable of the Sower: Dutch Painter: Pieter Bruegel the Elder:  1557 A Sower went out to sow. The painting depicts a farmer scattering seed across a field. On the left, thorny bushes threaten to overtake the grain. Nearby, rocky ground offers quick growth but little endurance. To the right, further down the hill, the seed falls on fertile soil. Across the river, a crowd gathers to hear the teachings of Jesus. The painting was inspired by a trip to the mountains the artist took just before creating this piece. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel: Matthew 13: 1-9 First Reading: Exodus 16: 1-5, 9-15

Faith is being sure about what we hope for, being convinced about things we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). Amen.Have you earned a degree from the University of Anxiety? You may go to sleep worried that you won't wake up. You may wake up worried that you didn't get enough sleep. We may worry that the experts will discover that lettuce was fattening all along. We worry that someone's mom used us as a bad example for her kids.Today we are discussing worry. Maybe you're like me. I'm blessed that I'm not a big worrier. Yet, I always get an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach before we leave for a big vacation or when I'm sending my teenage daughter home on a plane by herself ... or anytime I take my kayaks somewhere (that's a story for another time).Maybe you're like my lovely wife. She's getting better with her fear of heights, but she was still closing her eyes and white-knuckling the door handle as we drove up Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park this week.What do you worry about? Moms worry about their teens out late on a date. Dads worry about providing for their families in this economy. Teens worry about fitting in and being popular. Young adults worry about paying off loans, getting a job, and finding a spouse. Senior citizens worry about retirement, health, and their grown children.Whew! That's a lot to worry about! And I'm only scratching the surface.Jesus knows how much we worry. He knows how worry consumes our minds. It ruins our mental health. It wrecks our physical health.Jesus knows that worry comes from a weak faith or a minimal faith. He says, worry is "of little faith" (Luke 12:28). Worry is essentially a lack of trust in God. Last week we heard Jesus teaching about greed. This week Jesus teaches about worry. Greed and worry go together. Greed can't get enough. Worry is the fear we won't have enough.Jesus knows what damage worry does – to our faith in God, our relationships with others, and our outlook on life. That's why he commands, "Stop worrying!" It's not a suggestion. It isn't a simple statement. It's a command, "Stop doing this!" "Stop worrying about your life," he says (Luke 12:23).Wouldn't you love to just slam on the brakes and stop worrying? Just like that. Worry today. No worrying tomorrow. You worry about the physical and emotional weather that pelts you here in Wyoming. Could you use a strong shelter from the pelting of life's harsh elements? God offers you that. The possibility of a worry-free life. Not just less worry ... but no worry.Let's be realistic. We can't stop worrying just because we're told to stop worrying. Jesus knows that, too. So he gives us reasons why we can stop worrying. "I tell you, stop worrying about your life, about what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear" (Luke 12:23).Jesus says don't be anxious about food or clothing. Most of the world is anxious about having food or clothing for each day. We're blessed in America that we have lots of food and even more clothes. So, we worry about having better stuff. Good food, healthy food, food that delights the senses ... and we become gluttons without realizing it. We have clothes, but we want the items that adorn our bodies to be comfortable and noticeable – jewelry, tattoos, boots, hats, bikes, trucks, homes, income, investments, etc.Jesus gently lifts our eyes from the things of this world to look up to the things of the world to come. Instead of focusing on things we put in or on our bodies, we look to the body of the Son of God. The Son of God who adorned his human body with humility, dust, and bloody wounds.The first way to stop worrying is to lift your eyes from the food that goes in your body and the clothes that go on your body. Fix your eyes on the divinely human body of your Savior, Jesus Christ. If God loves you enough to take care of your eternal soul by sending his Son to be the Living Bread from heaven, he loves you enough to take care of your earthly needs with daily bread (John 6:51).Jesus continues, "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap; they have no warehouse or barn; and yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds" (Luke 12:24)! You are not the result of some random occurrence of events that took billions and millions of years to get to you. You are the result of God forming and fashioning you in the womb of your mother, begotten of your father. You have been wondrously and wonderfully knit together in your mother's womb. God spoke at creation and called everything into existence – the ravens, the wildflowers, and the grass of the field. Yet, God got his hands dirty forming Adam out of the dust. He performed surgery making Eve out of Adam's rib. He molds your parents' DNA to uniquely create you. That's something that can't be claimed by the birds of the air or the lilies of the field. Another reason not to worry is that you are quite literally the handiwork of God.Jesus continues, "And who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifespan? Since you are not able to do this little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these. If this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith" (Luke 12:25-28)? We can accomplish nothing through worry. Why worry about the things you can fix? If you can fix them, then work on that and move on. Why worry about the things you can't fix? If you can't fix them, then give them over to the Lord and move on.Even without worry, the ravens are fed, the wildflowers grow, and the grass is alive – even in the high desert. So, why worry whether the same thing will happen to us? Even with all our worry, we cannot add a single hour to our lives. In fact, worry seems to subtract hours from our lives.Jesus continues, "Do not constantly chase after what you will eat or what you will drink. Do not be worried about it. To be sure, the nations of the world chase after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need them. Instead, continue to seek the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you. Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:29-32). Our God knows how our hearts must cling to something for certainty, security, sustenance, and salvation. We have been created this way.As sinners, we can be like Abraham who was anxious about having an heir, so he slept with his maidservant, Hagar, who gave birth to Ishmael, or he thought he would need to make his manservant, Eliezer, his heir. As saints, we can be like Abraham who had the faith to believe God's promises for that heir of Jesus Christ. We hear in our Epistle lesson, "By faith Abraham also received the ability to conceive children, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was past the normal age, because he considered him faithful who made the promise. And so from one man, and he as good as dead, descendants were born as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand along the seashore" (Hebrews 11:11-12).Abraham was seeking after the kingdom of God. God then added other things to him as well. God wants you to seek after his kingdom. His kingdom treasures will help you stop worrying about this world's pleasures.The kingdom of God is found and claimed by you here at Lord of Lords in Word and Sacrament. Here is the Water of Life, poured out on you and your children from this font.Here is his ordained servant, washing sinners clean with the words of absolution as they go out to live in an unclean culture.Here is the Sacrament of the Altar to nourish your soul to strengthen you for holy living in an unholy society.Here eyes are lifted from circumstances and situations to the bloody cross, the empty tomb, and the heavenly throne of our Savior.Here weak knees are made strong to bear the burdens of our vocations.Here the broken are made whole by the God who calls planets into existence and who knits our bodies together in the womb.Here immoral souls are claimed and changed with immortality.Here the timid receive power from on high. Not to conquer the world, but to have faith in what we hope for and confidence in what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). Faith that Jesus has conquered sin with his redemptive sacrifice, has crushed the Ancient Serpent under his bloody heel, and defeated death with his glorious resurrection. It all happens here. It's proclaimed here. It's given to you freely here. Here is where God gives you his kingdom. When you seek after these spiritual kingdom blessings, God will add to you other physical earthly blessings, as well.Jesus concludes, "Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not become old, a treasure in the heavens that will not fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Luke 12:32-34). This is not a command to sell everything and live like a monk, nun, or beggar. Jesus is teaching that as Christians we are not to be engrossed with the things of this world. We can live as minimalists as we maximize the treasures that Jesus has won for us, given us, and promised will never be taken from us.We stop worrying when we allow faith to overcome our fears, the Almighty to crush our anxieties, and worship to replace our worries.She seemed to lose everything. Her husband left her for another woman. She was left to raise her three children on her own. It was difficult to afford basic things like food and clothes. Carting kids to school and after-school activities was difficult. Then there were the unexpected medical costs. Life was tough.Maybe you've been in her position. Maybe, even with far more, you worry. You worry about the rising cost of food, clothes, housing, and utilities. You worry about paying your bills and preserving your savings.She used to worry like that, but now she sees things differently. She was blessed to speak with her pastor. Her pastor reminded her of what she already knew. But it's easy to forget God's promises in the middle of Satan's poundings. Her pastor reminded her that Jesus left heaven to live in her place, to walk in her shoes, to fight against the temptation to worry and every other temptation she faced, and to overcome. She was reminded that even Jesus' closest friends and his heavenly Father abandoned him when he needed them most. For her, for you, and for me, he died, giving up everything to give us everything. Then he came back to life to assure her that her worry, lack of trust in God, fears and failures were all forgiven. He came back to life to promise that this life is not the end. Those who trust in him will live with him forever in heaven, where there is nothing to fear and no temptation to worry.That news changed her life. She still works hard to meet the challenges she faces every day. But now she knows that she has an eternal home waiting for her. She has a loving God caring for her. She doesn't need to worry. Whether things are tough or life is good, she has learned to focus on God's Word, God's promises, and the treasure God won for her in heaven. Her focus on heavenly treasure drives out worry.You can learn from this unnamed woman, you can learn from named Abraham, and you can learn from the teachings of Jesus. Stop worrying. Amen.We can also learn from the Old Testament saints. The writer to the Hebrews says of them, "They were longing for a better land—a heavenly one. For that reason, God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he prepared a city for them (Hebrews 11:6). Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/stop-worrying/

John 6:48-51, I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh. Let's be encouraged today by what Jesus says about Himself in these verses. First, He is the Bread of Life. Second, He came down so that the one who eats of Him will not die. Third, the one who eats of Jesus, the Living Bread, will live forever. The bread which Jesus gives is His flesh. How can we be encouraged to live to love with Jesus from these verses? Jesus is the life of the world, and the one who has Jesus has the life (1 John 5:12). To eat the bread of life, is to abide in Jesus. It is to receive who He is, embracing His purpose of glorifying God by loving with His Father, doing His will. As we abide in Jesus, He loves through us. We will be doing this forever! Just reading those words that the one who eats of the bread of life will “not die… He will live forever,” produces such hope, joy, and love for the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. His love poured out in our hearts becomes the fountain from which all love flows. To use the metaphor used in these verses, it's like we are the baskets that have the extra bread to be shared with the world. Doesn't that encourage you to live for the purpose of sharing the bread of life with others? Doesn't His love move you to express His love to others? I hope so. Let's also notice the extent to which Jesus went in order to give us the bread of life. He gave His body to be broken so we might have eternal life. God's love is the sustained direction of the will toward the highest good of another, no matter what the cost, in the power of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of God. That's the kind of love and the extent to which we must also go to love in His name and to love with Him. We should not be surprised if He asks us to lay down our lives, expend all our energy, suffer great hardship, persecution, and rejection. That's how we will know to a greater depth the love of Jesus for us. We'll know first hand, to a small degree, what Jesus meant when He said the bread which He gives is His flesh. We may expect God to give us the grace we need to live to love with Jesus. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

John 6:51 says this... “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” Let's talk about this on today's Morning Manna.

Delivered by Samy Ivan Gunarsa from the Parish of Saint Mary of All the Nations in the Diocese of Bogor, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 8: 26-40; Rs psalm 66: 8-9.16-17.20; John 6: 44-51.THE SWEET BREAD OF THE LORD The title for our meditation today is:The Sweet Bread of The Lord. The teaching of Jesus on the Bread of Life isexpressed profoundly in the Gospel of John. That fourth Gospel in tbe bibleelaborates in detail the teaching on the Lord Jesus as the bread of life and itoffers its deep theological meaning. In essence, Jesus Christ is the source ofgoodness and salvation for our lives both in the world and in the eternal life. There was a 14 years old sweet andpretty girl in the village who sold sweet bread from door to door. Her voicesounded always familiar when she said: "Sweeeeet breaaaad"repeatedly. She sold sweet bread every day to make some profit from the onlybusiness of her widow mother. Her other two younger siblings also did the samework. Together they work to make a living for the family. Usually all the bread were sold out. Obviouslythe villagers liked sweet bread for breafast or snack, but they also seemedinterested for something else. They sympathized with the girl who bore thename"Sweet Girl" even though it was not her real name. The sweet andpretty girl sold sweet bread that expected to sustain the life of her family. With regards to the "bread oflife" in the teaching of Jesus Christ, sweetness would be somethingextraordinary. The sweet bread of that sweet girl is something of this world.It will eventually disappear and not anymore found for our breakfast or snack. Itlasts only for a moment. However, the Bread of life of Jesus Christ will not belost. Its sweetness remains because the Lord remains as the giver of life toall creatures now and in the future.  Philip, a disciple of Jesus and one ofthe deacons of the early Church had eaten the firsthand Living Bread of JesusChrist. The Lord Jesus says in the today's Gospel reading the followingstatement: “I am the bread of life that has come down from heaven; whoever eatsthis bread will live forever." Philip had lived with this bread, untilwhen he met the eunuch from Ethiopia, explained the contents of the scripturesto him and baptized him. Philip had moved from Jesus Christ tothe streets, edges, and corners of life by bringing the grace of the bread oflife of Jesus Christ. He went together with other apostles, disciples,followers of Christ, and includes you and me. The Ethiopian eunuch moved from theoutskirts or corners of life to get to the bread of life, Jesus Christ, theSavior of the world. Many other people, maybe around you noware moving also towards the center namely our Lord Jesus Christ. It iswonderful that when they are going to Jesus, they meet Jesus Christ in you andme. They no longer need to look for other forms and types of bread, but onlythe Bread of Life, the Lord Jesus Christ.Let us pray. In the name of theFather ... Lord Jesus Christ, make us sweet and wonderful bread, because Youlive in us, and we will bring it wherever we go, so that our neighbor can cometo You, through us. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

The Lord's Table April 13, 2025 Elwyn Johnston 1 Corinthians 11:23 – 25; John 6 Verse of the Week: “Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey His commands” Deuteronomy 8:11 1. Bread is a staple of life. “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Matthew 14:15 “The crowd doesn't need to go away; you give them something to eat!” Matthew 14:16 “I am the Bread of Life.” John 6:35 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Heb. 13:8 “this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is My flesh.” John 6:51 2. Bread satisfies “they all ate and were satisfied.” Matthew 14:20 “I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” John 6:35 “I am the Living Bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever” John 6:51 "Come, taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8 3. Bread must be shared. “You give them something to eat!” Mark 6:37 “Jesus blessed the food and broke the loaves and Jesus kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.” Mark 6:41

The body of Christ is symbolized as “one bread.” (1 Cor. 10:17). We receive this status from the compassionate Savior who declared, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven” (Jn. 6:51). His purpose in coming was to feed a desperately-hungry, spiritually-emaciated human race, starving for truth. Born-again believers inherit the same identity and purpose.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Get Mike Shreve's book revealing the spiritual identity of the sons and daughters of God: WHO AM I?

Her family has gathered throughout all seasons of life, both the joyful and sorrowful, just to be together.  Listen to Shana share and be inspired to root your own life in the Eucharist and family meals (even if this means friends who become family!). 

In his latest teaching episode, Bishop Wack reviews "The Living Bread", a book written by Thomas Merton about the theology and mysticism of the eucharist.

JOHN 6: 51-58In today's gospel story, Jesus is trying to get our attention and wake us up to the reality that there is living bread from heaven that we need and that is closer to us than we realize.

Mish has controversial opinion on which bread is the most superior bread. Is it a delicious, dense sourdough? I it a healthy, grainy, sprouted loaf? Does Zach even give a shit? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Catechism has spent considerable time unpacking Holy Communion—the “sacrament of sacraments”—with us, and now she summarizes the most essential truths that we must internalize and move forward with. Fr. Mike takes this “nugget day” to tell us that God desires to feed us. He has given us his Son so that we might be filled with him and made whole again, in unity with him for all of eternity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1406-1419. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The body of Christ is named “one bread” and “unleavened Passover bread” in Scripture (1 Cor. 5:7; 10:17). We inherit this status from the compassionate Savior who declared, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven.” His purpose in coming was to feed a spiritually emaciated human race, starving for truth. Believers receive the same identity and purpose. The requirement is being “leaven-free.” Ministry website: www.shreveministries.orgComparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netThe “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mail: P.O.

1) Gospel - Jn 6:44-51 - Jesus said to the crowds: "No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to My Father and learns from Him comes to Me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the One Who is from God; He has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the Bread of Life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the Bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the Living Bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this Bread will live forever; and the bBread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world." 2, 3, 4) Daniel Fitzpatrick on how reclaiming Sunday can revive our human nature in his book: Restoring the Lord's Day (Sophia Press) https://sophiainstitute.com/product/restoring-the-lords-day/ 

Friends of the Rosary: Every Friday during Lent we abstain from eating meat. It's a Christian practice that helps us to discipline ourselves and dominate our superficial hunger for food and drink. And like we did on Ash Wednesday on Good Friday we will eat one full meal, or two smaller meals. "We fast because we have a hunger for God," as Bishop Barrons explains today. Our deepest hunger is for God. And to discover this inner desire, we have to fast. We are meant to feel how hungry we are for God, the true Living Bread.  In addition, the Fridays of Lent are a good practice for Good Friday as an opportunity to reflect on the Lord's Passion. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

Jesus' declaration that He was "the bread of life" stirred both anger and opposition in the Jewish people. Confident in what they already knew about Him, they grumbled, with some not hearing, some hearing and doubting, and others hearing and disputing. Alistair Begg reminds us that we often have the same responses to Jesus today. Left to our sinful selves, we do not choose to believe in Him. Instead, our resistant hearts must be drawn by the Father, allowing us to see Jesus for who He is—the Living Bread who has come down from heaven to give His life for the world.
