Trading Control for Faith: Maggot Bread.
Pastor Jon Hand

Listen to Sermon: Maggots in the Bread [16Mb]

Life is a journey with God.

On the journey God gives guidance for today.
Numbers 9: 15-23

On the journey God gives provision for right now.
Exodus 16:12-21

On the journey relationships are not guaranteed.
Numbers 12:1-3

We live with a lie in our subconscious: We are in control.

Plot the ideal life

If A. (__________________________) +B (______________________) =
          Happiness, peace of mind. 

God is a God of process.
Exodus 13:17-18

Jesus comes to bring life.  He is the bread of life.
John 6:30-33

Trading death for life means we come to Jesus.
The only thing we can control is our response to what life brings…
Matthew 11:28-30

What are you holding on to?
Who are you trying to control?
What’s causing your heart to race with anxiety?
What are you doing to cope?
To take the edge off?
How’s that working for you?

Are you read to give up the lie, the illusion of control?
Are you ready to trade death, anxiety, and fear for life?
Are you ready to enter or (re)enter the process with God?
Are you ready to find grace and peace???

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Jesus (Matthew 11)
