Sermon Outline
1. Illustration – mission trip with kids
• Expectations, first impressions
• Jason and the schizophrenic answers which dodged questions and answered indirectly
--
2. Problem with text
• Jesus and indirect answers
• “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
– “you are looking for me because you ate the bread I gave you”
• “What must we do to perform the works of God?” – “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one whom he has sent”
• “What sign are you going to give us, then?
Moses sent bread.”
– Moses didn’t send bread, God did”
--
3. Problem 2 with text
• Jesus dismisses the crowd as only after his food
• Crowds were poor – unemployment was worsening, taxes were rising beyond control, and leaders were oppressive – so much so that the people revolted against Rome 40 years later
--
4. Problem 3 with text
• Jesus as the bread of life – what does this say to the hungry?
• Jason, the homeless guy and “bread of life”
--
5. Illustration – Charles the director
• Pastors vs. Ministers
--
6. Jesus and the crowd
• Knew he couldn’t feed them forever – needed to teach them to help each other
• Had already fed them once – first gave them earthly food – then gave them heavenly food
--
7. Communion
• Dual meaning – we eat the earthly bread and yet we receive heavenly nourishment
