Sermon: “Dying to Self; Living in Covenant” from Jeffrey Schooley

Ostensibly, the miraculous sign in today’s gospel text is the feeding of the 5,000. But what may be more impressive than that is the way in which Jesus turns down power. If Jesus refuses to be made king by human convention, what does this mean for our own pursuit of power and authority?

Scripture References: 1 Samuel 8:19-22, John 6:1-15

From Series: "I Saw the Sign: Jesus in John's Gospel"

For this year’s season of Epiphany, we are going to look at the way John’s Gospel helps us to see who Jesus is, especially through the seven signs. Each sign, of course, reveals that Jesus is the Messiah, but in each instance that word – Messiah – grows in meaning. Then, as we come to see who Jesus is better, we will also grow to see our lives in greater purpose and detail.
