Our service today, 11th August 2024, was led by John Ponsford, and his topic was
“Strange Bread”
We often seek fulfilment in the tangible and visible—work, relationships, achievements, and material possessions. Yet, no matter how much we consume, a deeper hunger remains—a longing that cannot be satisfied by these earthly means. It’s a hunger that calls for a different kind of spiritual nourishment.
Jesus spoke of this when He declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35)
This Bread of life isn’t just physical sustenance; it’s spiritual nourishment that fills our souls with peace, purpose, and God’s love. When we partake in this bread, we are invited into a relationship with Jesus that satisfies our deepest needs and desires.
As we pray, ‘Dear Father, feed us with the Bread of Life,’ we are asking God to nourish our spirits, to fill the emptiness that the world cannot satisfy, and to lead us into a life that is not just filled, but abundant, meaningful, and overflowing with His grace.
Let us come to the table of God, open our hearts, and allow His love to feed our souls. In Him, we find the true bread that sustains us so that we no longer hunger.
