Title: You Can't Get There from Here (3 of 5)
Series: This Is Your Captain Speaking
Author: Scott Maze
Text: John 6:16-24
We continue our series of hearing from our Captain, the Lord Jesus Christ. We continue to study the gospel of John. I invite you to find your Bibles and find John 6 with me.
A Young Lady's Story
A young lady from Delaware wrote me her story of faith some years ago. Chole trusted Christ as a young child. Chloe spoke of embracing Christ and the Bible at a young age when she was still in elementary school. She was holding her mother's hand as she prayed to receive the Lord, and her mother led her in prayer. When she was but fourteen years old, her mother was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Looking back to this moment, she writes, "When I was about 14... I distanced myself from God and really didn't have a relationship with Him."1
There are a whole lot of Chloe's in America today - Christians and non-Christians both. People hear that God loves them but soon experience tremendous hardship. They quickly abandon their belief in God. Why do so people's faith fail? Why do some people's faith in God turn to dust? I want to explore that question with you this morning.
Jesus performs back-to-back miracles in John 6. He feeds 5,000 men, and then He walks on water. Imagine being one of Jesus' followers. In a matter of hours, you have witnessed a boy's sack lunch feed the population of a small city. Now, Jesus walks on water. Your head would be spinning!
Invitation
After today's message, you will be invited to respond to Jesus' offer of a clean, fresh start. You can respond by going to the Encourager's Room or a virtual room. If you would like someone to pray with you, we are here. We would love to meet with you personally.
Today's Scripture
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea becam ...
