The Bread of Life - by Justin Renton

In the wilderness, Jesus Christ faced three temptations that still speak to us today. First, the lure of riches, fame, and power—things that never last. Second, the twisting of Scripture (like in Psalms 91), where doubt creeps in and false beliefs take root. Third, the urge to satisfy physical needs before spiritual ones—turning stones to bread instead of trusting God.

We don’t always recognise spiritual hunger. It shows up as emptiness, frustration, even quiet anger. Instead of feeding our souls, we try to fill the gap with distractions like endless scrolling.

But we need real nourishment—a steady diet of scripture, worship, and truth. Jesus is the Bread of Life (Gospel of John 6:25–36). Only he truly satisfies. Hunger and thirst for righteousness. Make him the centre of your life.

Challenge: Don’t eat physical food before feeding on spiritual food—start your day with God’s Word. You can watch the full sermon on our YouTube channel; the lesson starts at 39 minutes.
