Luke 9:21-36 We’ll all know people who have made big sacrifices for things like career, family and pastimes. In fact, every choice we make to spend an hour on x, sacrifices an hour on y.

John 6:35 One of our most basic feelings as humans is hunger. From the moment we are born we feel hunger and cry out for food. But there is also a spiritual hunger of which we become aware as we get older. An inner emptiness. What is the solution? Jesus says that he is the bread of life.
