Sermon Overview: Without God's intervention we would most certainly serve false gods and idols. This is because our sinful nature causes us to not fear and love God above all things. However, when we struggle against our sinful nature and trust in Jesus for forgiveness and salvation, we are serving God.

Sermon Overview: Jesus referred to himself as "the living bread which came down from heaven" and that whoever "eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." (John 6:51a,54a). However, we are not to confuse this with Holy Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper. Rather, Jesus is telling us that he is the living Word of God, which we need to nourish our faith so that we may live forever in Heaven.
