Feed on the Word // Pastor Jon Larson

An entrée is the main course, the part of the meal that truly satisfies and gives strength. In the same way, God’s Word is what nourishes and sustains our spiritual lives. We cannot grow spiritually on snacks alone. We need the truth, wisdom and the presence of God regularly. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He responded by saying, “One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Physical food keeps our bodies alive but God’s Word feeds our hearts, minds and souls. Jeremiah said God’s words became “the joy and delight” of his heart and Ezekiel described God’s Word as sweet like honey. Scripture is not meant to be dry information,it is life-giving truth that transforms us from the inside out. That’s why teaching, preaching, worship, small groups and communion matter so much. Leaders and teachers are not just sharing information, they are helping feed people spiritually. God uses His Word to encourage, correct, strengthen and equip His people for everyday life. Yet Hebrews 10:24 also reminds us to not neglect gathering together. We grow stronger when we worship, learn and encourage one another as a community of faith.
