More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Come Lord Jesus #13 -- Revelation 2:12-17 -- The Christmas Word!
The Christmas stories from the Bible are central to celebrating Christmas, not just because we need to know the story, we do. But even more so because John says in his Christmas story, that Jesus is the Word of God. In other words, it's not just about a book. It's about a person. It's not just about knowing the truth it's about loving the one who is true.
So there are two equally valid and important statements that we need to understand. First we don't value Christ if we don't value the Word. The Word shows us Christ. It's filled with Christ. It leads us to Christ. I've seen time and time again, when people who love Jesus fall out of love with His Word, over time they fall out of love with Jesus. But it's also true, secondly, that we've missed the Word, if we aren't drawn to Christ. If we learn the Bible without coming to love Christ we've missed it all. Jesus is the Christmas Word!
