Last Week's Sermon
John 6:52-59

Jesus proclaimed that we must eat and drink of him to have eternal life. But how could that possibly be? Addressing this often misunderstood and misapplied passage of Scripture, Alistair Begg explains that Jesus used physical descriptions to explain spiritual truths. Spiritual hunger—that deep-seated desire to make sense of existence—is universal. Only when we’re united with Christ do we find the true food and drink that satisfies our deepest longings. All Jesus requires is that we know our need of him and place our trust in his provision.
