Everyone is going to eat something to be satisfied. In John 6, Jesus is pointing to a hunger that we all have, not a physical hunger but a soul-level hunger. How can we be filled? "I am the bread of life" - proclaims Jesus. Pastor Dan Rude explains what that means, why we need Jesus even to enjoy what we have, and how God the Father calls people to the Son.

In this message, we're challenged to examine our motives for following Jesus. Are we seeking Him for the right reasons? The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 and the crowd's subsequent pursuit of Him across the Sea of Galilee serves as a mirror for our own hearts. Just as the crowd sought Jesus for more physical bread, we too can fall into the trap of following Him solely for material blessings or quick fixes to our problems. However, we're called to a higher purpose - to seek the 'bread of life' that Jesus offers. This eternal sustenance isn't about temporary satisfaction, but about a lasting relationship with God. We're reminded that true faith isn't about what we can get from Jesus, but about who He is and what He's done for us. As we reflect on our own journey, let's ask ourselves: Are we chasing after miracles, or are we pursuing the Miracle Worker Himself?
Join us this week for another sermon on the Gospel of John, continuing with chapter 6 verses 22 through 29. We look at the work of God, and how we can work hard for God in our lives as Christians.

In this powerful exploration of John 6, we delve into the profound reasons why God allows storms in our lives. The central message revolves around Jesus walking on water, a miraculous event that reveals His divine nature and power over creation. This story challenges us to see our trials through a spiritual lens, recognizing that often, it's our obedience to Christ that leads us into difficult situations. The key takeaway is that Jesus sends us into storms not to harm us, but to grow our faith and reveal His glory. We're reminded that God's primary concern isn't our comfort, but the purity of our faith. This message encourages us to worship Jesus in the midst of our storms, trusting that He sees us, is with us, and ultimately uses these challenges to deepen our relationship with Him. As we face life's turbulent waters, we're called to look beyond our immediate circumstances and see Christ walking on the waves, sovereign over all our trials.
Join us again this week as we continue our look at the Gospel of John with a sermon on chapter 6 verses 16-21. We examine four surprises included in the story of Jesus walking on water, as well as what this infamous miracle can tell us about our own relationship with him.

As promised from last week (https://youtu.be/F-bXd_DFXU8) Pastor Luke Hukee reveals the fourth witness of who Christ is and why it is so important we view it correctly. The Pharisees did not and therefore rejected the promised Messiah.

The death and burial of Jesus, the reason behind it, serve as our ultimate hope! A hope for change, for purpose, for new and everlasting life!
Crucifixion is a horrible, painful death but the writers of the gospels did not dwell on the pain of the cross but rather what was happening on the cross.

Something that would make a living hope available to all.

The vineyards start where the Côte d'Or ends, with the valley of the River Dheune, just south of Santenay. Its terroir is clay and limestone, but the landscape feels different, as there is no one escarpment, and the land is more wooded, creating a more varied terrain.The main grapes are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Aligoté, but there is also a small amount of Gamay and Pinot Blanc. There are five villages, Bouzeron, Rully, Mercurey, Givry, Montagny and two sub-classes of Bourgone: Bourgogne-Côte Chalonnaise and Bourgogne-Côte de Couchois.Bouzeron has plenty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on its east-facing slope, but on its west-facing slope you find Aligoté – as Jasper explains, “Aligoté has been Bouzeron's calling card,” and in 1998 they decided to create an appellation just for Bourzeron and Aligoté. It most renowned producers are Domaine A&P de Villaine, Maison Chanzy and Domaine Champs de Themis.Rully makes sparkling wine and some good Aligoté, but is mainly known for its Chardonnay. Jasper explains, “The wines are not particularly long-lasting but they don't need to be, because they are so lovely.” The producers to look out for are P&M Jacqueson, Domaine de la Folie, while Jasper picks out Vincent Dureuil-Janthial as the biggest star.Domaine Faiveley put Mercurey on the map, and Mercurey remains the most famous of the villages. This is red-wine territory, with the wines being more structured and more tannic, though as Jasper notes, this is changing a little with new Pinot Noir plant material. Château de Chamiray is a major player in the area and a name to look for is Domaine Bruno Lorenzon.Givry is similar to Mercurey, in that it is red-wine country, with only 15% whites produced. Producers to seek out include Domaine du Cellier aux Moines, which Jasper highly recommends, and Domaine Joblot, Domaine Thénard, François Lupp and his cousins, Domaine Ragot and Domaine Laurent Mouton.Montagny is a white-wine-only appellation. Jasper describes its taste as different from other Burgundian whites, more like “crushed oyster shells like Chablis, though not so iodine.” His names to look out for include Cave de Buxy, the largest producer in the Côte Chalonnaise, and the negociant Louis Latour has considerable holdings, the star producer is Domaine Stéphane Aladame, but there is a raft of new producers including Domaine Laurent Cognard, Domaine Feuillat-Juillot, Domaine Berthenet.You can also find Jasper's guest appearances on other Podcast/Video channels we work closely with: The Wine Conversation 67 Pall Mall TV Bringing Burgundy closer to you with every episode!Subscribe to my website and get full access to my scores, tasting notes, detailed write-ups on producers and much more:https://www.insideburgundy.com/register/See all our events at: https://www.insideburgundy.com/all-events/Daily updates on our Instagram: @jaspermorris.insideburgundy
