The day before Jesus fed 5000 with five loaves and two fish. The next day the crowds come back looking for Jesus and find him across the sea in Capernaum. But Jesus knows their hearts and declares that they only reason they seek him was not because they saw the signs and comprehended, but because they wanted their bellies fed. They have come for Jesus to satisfy their physical desires and needs. Jesus commands them to work for the food that does not perish. Put your efforts not in the physical desires of life but on Jesus that offers eternal life. Believe in the one who is giving the life you need. This is where we pick up in our story, at John 6:30…

The post REWIND: The Bread of Life (John 6:30-40) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

There are a group of books in the scriptures that we call the minor prophets. They are given this name because they are small prophetic books when compared to the size of the prophetic books like Isaiah and Jeremiah. But the messages in these books are very practical and very important to building our faith and increasing our knowledge of the Lord. There is a small, three chapter book in your copies of God’s word called Habakkuk. Habakkuk is a unique book. Typically the minor prophets reveal God telling the prophet to go and preach to the people God’s message. But the book of Habakkuk is different because we do not hear Habakkuk preaching God’s word to the people. Instead, we are going to read about Habakkuk questioning God. Habakkuk and God are going to have a back and forth discussion about what is going on in the world. What we are going to see is that Habakkuk has questions that God answers which only leads to Habakkuk having more questions that God answers. So we are beginning our sermon series today called When I Don’t Understand. Habakkuk does not understand what God is doing which is the basis for the many questions he asks. Open your copies of God’s word to the prophecy of Habakkuk…

The post When God Is Silent (Habakkuk 1:1-4) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

We started this series last week called Don’t Waste Your Life. We are looking at the book of Ecclesiastes in which the teacher is exploring life and considering the bottom line. In Ecclesiastes 1:3 the teacher asked this question: What do people gain by all their toil under the sun? The teacher is looking at life and making careful evaluations. What do you get from everything you are doing in life? What is the profit? What is the point? Now the teacher began with his conclusion in verse 2. He said that everything is vanity. It is absolute futility. Now he is not saying that life is meaningless. Rather, he is saying that life is like a vapor or mist, meaning that it is lacking substance. Life under the sun does not provide lasting satisfaction. He proved this by showing how life is just circles. One day is like the next. One season is like the next. One year is like the next. One generation is like the next. What the teacher is going to do now is to carefully consider areas in life where we try to find value, joy, and satisfaction and see if we will get that outcome (gain, profit) or not. Please open your copies of God’s word to Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 and we are going to notice four observations that he makes about life…
