When Jesus Says "No": Understanding God's Better Plan for You


Listen Later

In this sermon, we explore how Jesus defies our expectations to give us not just what we want, but what we truly need. Reflecting on John 6 and Exodus 16, we see how Jesus rejects being reduced to an emergency responder or political hero, choosing instead to be our true King, the Bread of Life who satisfies our deepest spiritual hunger.
