Spiritual Life – John 6:63
READ: John 6:63
CHALLENGE: Rely on Jesus for the Life You Most Want
John 6:63- The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spiritand life.
A. JESUS BRINGS LIFE
1. Life is More Than This Physical World
VV14-15 – After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. John chapter six testifies about Jesus feeding five thousand with 5 loaves and two fish.
Vv26-29 – Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”.”
2. Life is Christ’s Power to Sustain
Vv30-35 – So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”32 Jesus said to them, . Now they want a sign and they bring up manna.
Philippians 4:13 – I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
3. Life is Eternal
John 6:40 – For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
.John 6:48-51 – I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died..”
B. POWER COMES FROM THE SPIRIT
v.63 – The Spirit gives life;
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
C. LIFE IS NOT FOUND IN OUR EFFORTS
Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
D. LIFE IS FOUND IN THE WORD
V63b – The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

A Team Divided Can’t Stand! #unity #divided #biblestudy
It can be so disappointing to watch a team not work together! Multiple reasons can cause a team to fall apart. When a team falls apart, eventually it loses. It can cause division. When you have division, you do not have unity.
Being Proactive Not Reactive
Pastor Bill and Bethany discuss being proactive and not reactive with your feelings/emotions. Don’t be owned by your feelings/emotions. Jesus was hurting on the cross but he did what was right. 1 Peter 2:23 – When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Unity – John 17:20-23
Scripture: John 17:20-23
Unity
1. Unity results in us being “like-minded”.
2. Second, Unity results in “having the same love
3. Unity results in “being one in spirit and of one mind” is to have the same common goals at heart.
Phil 1:27 “..I will know that you stand firm in the one spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel…”
UNITY IS A REFLECTION OF THE TRINTIY As John writes in his gospel, he reminds us that Jesus and God are one. Jesus, referred to as “The Word”, and the Word was with God and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning” (John 1:1-2)
To paraphrase James 1:22-25 “Don’t just listen to the word. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and then forgets what they look like once they walk away.” Knowing the truth is one thing. Acting on it is another.
In v.21 he says “May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” Our unity with Christ, will be evident to the world around us
1. the world will know The Father sent his son, Jesus and
2. The world will know that He loves them. Our unity will result in being one in spirit and of one mind striving for the faith of the Gospel.
John 15 :5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” Be united to the Spirit. Walk in step with the spirit. Pray. Read. Worship. Know God’s word and live it out. Bear good fruit. Be united with other believers. Be involved. Serve. Give. May we experience such perfect unity that the world see God in us. Close in Prayer.
Handling Emotions
Pastor Bill and Bethany discuss handling emotions. Emotions are given by God, part of humanity and they range. They make us Human. My fear is that without a handle on our “emotions”, we get off the path. Enjoy.
