More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
His Sermon, My Story #29 -- Matthew 5:13-16 -- God would you please take me out of the center of my life?
We need more than bread to thrive. Jesus said that we need every word that comes from the mouth of God! We need more than food-stuff for our stomachs, more than comfort-stuff, more than significance stuff; we even need more than relational stuff in order to thrive. A live that thrives will involve a live that is continually feeding on the words of God. And remember, eating God's words involves more than listening and learning. Both listening and learning are important, but they are incomplete until we lean in. Leaning in, is the place where we become do-ers of the word and not hearers only. It’s the place where our lives change by the power of the Spirit in partnership with the Word of God.
In this episode, I'm challenging us to consider leaning in by asking God to take us out of the center of our lives, so that we can be a blessing to those around us.
