Hey Guys,This past Sunday, we walked through one of the most powerful passages in John’s Gospel—John 6:22–59—where Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life.” It was a reminder that while manna in the wilderness provided temporary nourishment, only Jesus Christ, the Messiah, gives life that lasts forever.We saw how the crowds were eager for another miracle meal, yet they missed the greater truth: Je...  Read More

Hey Guys,We live in a world that is hungry. Hungry for success. Hungry for approval. Hungry for fulfillment. Yet no matter how much we achieve, acquire, or experience, the hunger always seems to return.This isn’t a new problem. In John 6, after Jesus fed the five thousand, the crowds chased Him across the sea—not because they truly believed in Him, but because they wanted more bread. They longed f...  Read More

Hey Guys,Yesterday, we opened God’s Word to John 6:16–21 and were reminded of one of the most beautiful truths in the Christian life: the presence of Jesus changes everything.The disciples were in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, battered by wind and waves, straining at the oars in the dark.

Hey Guys,Yesterday’s message from John 6:1–15, “What Jesus Can Do with a Willing Heart,” was a powerful reminder that God isn’t looking for greatness—He’s looking for surrender. As we studied the feeding of the five thousand, we saw the miracle unfold not just through the power of Jesus, but through the simple offering of a young boy who was willing to place what little he had in the hands of the ...  Read More

Hey Guys,Have you ever missed something right in front of you?We’ve all had those moments—searching for your glasses when they’re on your head, or retracing your steps only to find your keys in your hand.

Hey Guys,If someone showed you clear, undeniable evidence that something was true—would you believe it? Logic tells us yes. But the heart doesn’t always follow what the eyes can see or the mind can understand. Sometimes, the problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s a lack of willingness.This Sunday at New Hope Baptist Church, we continue our sermon series Believe: A Study of John with a powerful m...  Read More
