A proper diet of spiritual food is needed so Christians do not become weak and weary, but rather thrive spiritually in their relationship with God. Regular nourishment for the soul is vital for the Christian life, just as physical food is for the body.
This spiritual food is “every word that comes from the mouth
of God” God has spoken to us in His Word, the Bible.
His Word imparts life
(John 6:63).
Jesus spoke of another type of spiritual food. “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work” (verse 34, ESV). Later, after feeding the 5,000, Jesus referred to faith, salvation, and His sacrifice using a food metaphor: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink” (John 6:54–55).
We need spiritual food—that is to say we need the Word of God, we need to do the will of God, and we need Jesus Himself.
Our various ministries provide the opportunity to engage by learning, sharing, participating and serving.
