#510: Learning to Feed Your Soul
Show Notes

The Big Idea: 

A sometimes forgotten area in which we need deliberate feeding is our spiritual life. Without spiritual nourishment, we will be weak. We won't have the strength to stand for God in times of difficulty, temptation, and testing. Just as we daily feed our physical bodies, we must learn to daily feed our souls.


Main Points:

1. If you are expecting one sermon a week to provide all the spiritual nourishment you need, you are mistaken. We need daily nourishment and you can learn to feed your own soul.

2. Do you find yourself being weak spiritually? Does it feel as if you have no power to live for God? Are you powerless against temptation? Do you struggle loving God and others? Does it feel as if you have no desire to go to church or to join with other believers? 

3. If we are honest, we may not have much appetite for the Word of God and prayer, but as we persist, we begin to experience the spiritual nourishment that comes. We begin to experience God’s presence and power in new ways and we begin to develop a greater spiritual appetite.


Today’s Scripture Verse:

Matthew 4:4 - “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

John 6:35 - “Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
