Summary

As humans, one of our most basic needs is food—when we don't have it, we experience discomfort, irritability, or even sickness or death. And yet, as unbearable as physical hunger can be, it is our spiritual hunger that we often neglect to address, to our own detriment. As we begin a series looking at the seven "I am" statements made by Jesus in the Gospel of John, this message from Pastor J.D. explores the first of these, from John 6. Jesus' claim to be the "bread of life" is a truth that we so desperately need in a world full of people who seek to satisfy their spiritual hunger with anything but Jesus.

0:02.2	See, some of you think, well, if Jesus would just give me this,

0:45.3	to feel hungry. When we go without food, we get tired, irritable, even weak. But what about our
0:51.8	spiritual hunger? Too often we ignore it or try to fill it with things that
0:56.1	we'll never actually satisfy. As we begin this new teaching series, the I am statements of Jesus.
1:03.5	Pastor J.D. takes us to John 6, where Jesus begins with I am the bread of life. It's a truth we
1:09.8	desperately need in a world searching for satisfaction.
1:13.3	But what exactly does it mean? Let's join Pastor Jady right now in the Gospel of John.
1:20.1	Raise your hands if you've ever had Grubhub or Uber Eats, show up at your house and drop off food
1:27.1	that you have not ordered. Raise your hand
1:29.1	if that's ever happened. A handful of you. It's kind of awesome, isn't it? I mean, you can't sit
1:32.8	it back. It's already out, so you don't have any guilt about it, but you didn't pay for it. It's just
