This sermon from Dromore RP Church explores Jesus' declaration in John 6:35, 'I am the bread of life,' as part of a series on Jesus' self-identification. The preacher unpacks the metaphor of bread as a symbol of spiritual nourishment, contrasting the temporary satisfaction of physical food with the eternal life offered through Christ. Drawing from the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 and the subsequent discourse, the sermon highlights how people in Jesus' day—and today—are spiritually hungry, seeking meaning in religion, politics, pleasure, or self-improvement, only to find emptiness. Jesus, the sermon argues, is not just a teacher or miracle worker but the eternal, divine Son who came down from heaven, offered Himself as a sacrifice for sin, and provides life that lasts forever. The message emphasizes that salvation is not earned but received by faith, and that Christ's offer is universally available—no one is too broken, too far, or too unworthy to come. The sermon concludes with a powerful invitation: come to Christ, the one who satisfies every deep longing of the soul.

Introduction: Who Am I? – Jesus' Self-Identification
The sermon begins with the theme of Jesus answering the question 'Who am I?' through His own words, focusing on John 6:35. The preacher introduces the series and sets up the central metaphor of Jesus as the 'bread of life,' the first of seven 'I am' statements in John's gospel.
Bread We All Need: The Hunger of the Soul
“The world has provided a buffet for people to choose from. Here are relationships to sample. Here's a sexual orientation to indulge in. Here are experiences to try. And people will try any of it and all of it, excessive amounts of it, in hopes of satisfying hungry hearts, hungry souls.”
Bread Sent Down: Jesus as the Divine Provision
“It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven. It came, in a sense, through Moses. He was the one who led the people in prayer to God. But it was God who had actually given them the bread.”
Bread Offered Up: The Sacrifice of Christ
“He's saying that he is taking our place, that there's something that we ought to be doing, but that he is doing for us.”
Bread Freely Available: The Open Invitation of Christ
“Whoever comes to me I will never cast out. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Have you scanned the buffet of the world and found that there's nothing to satisfy? Come to Christ.”
