Intro: We now live in an age of crisis over authority or credibility … 

IRRATIONAL, WILLFUL OPPOSITION
What makes it hard to believe that Jesus is the Savior?

JESUS, THE GIVER OF LIFE
How did Jesus couple the imagery of the feast with His mission?

 “COME TO ME”
What does it mean to “come to Jesus?”

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

  1. Worship the LORD, for His graciousness and generosity. Praise Him, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that He knows all things, including your needs, the full scope of your guilt, and what it takes to save you.
  2. How have you given more weight to your experiences and opinions of men than you do to what God has revealed in His Word? Confess your pride to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and open your heart to trust Him instead.
  3. Give thanks to Jesus for how He was willing to bear your guilt by His death – just as Moses struck the rock in the wilderness. Thank Him that as a result, He is willing and able to pour His Spirit into your heart to give you life.
  4. Who do you know that is skeptical and spiritually dry? Pray for them, asking the Lord to pour out His Spirit upon them to revive them and give them new life in His grace.
  5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in His fruit of love and faithfulness and grow you in your reliance on His grace. Pray for insight into how He seals you in His love, and how He is doggedly conforming you to Jesus’ likeness.
