❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Eternally Valuable (John 6:22-40) Mari Ikeda Today we continue with the Gospel of John, and today we will read 6:22-40. Actually there is only one theme addressed from today’s passage to the end of this chapter 6, but since it is very long, I will divide it into three sermons. After those three sermons, we will enter the Advent, Christmas season. So, starting today, I would like to spend the next three sermons gradually considering the theme that Jesus is the bread of life that God has given to us. The core of the story is what we will read next time, and today’s passage…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Those who trust in the LORD (Psalm 125) Andy Nagahara Let’s listen to the Lord our God, Jesus Christ, who speaks to us again through the psalm today. Today’s text is Psalm 125. Let’s read up to verse 2 first. 1. The LORD surrounds us (1,2) 0 A song of ascents.1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,which cannot be shaken but endures forever.2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,so the LORD surrounds his peopleboth now and forevermore. The phrase we want to focus on is the subject of today’s entire message: that of those who “trust in the Lord”, “Those who trust…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) We Meet Jesus In The Storm (John 6:16-21) Mari Ikeda Today we continue with the Gospel of John, and today we will read 6:16-21. This is another famous passage, like the previous one, which records the miracle of Jesus walking on the water during the storm and catching up with the disciples in their boat. While the previous miracle of the feeding of the crowd of 5,000, which we read last time, is recorded in all four Gospels, today’s passage is recorded in three Gospels other than Luke. And since all three Gospels record the previous passage and today’s passage consecutively, it is likely that…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Jesus Is The Name Of The Lord (Psalm 124) Andy Nagahara Today’s text is Psalm 124. I am going to talk today about three of the most striking statements in this psalm. Firstly, I will read up to verse 5. 1. If the LORD had not been on our side (1-5) 0 A song of ascents. Of David.1 If the LORD had not been on our side–let Israel say–2 if the LORD had not been on our sidewhen men attacked us,3 when their anger flared against us,they would have swallowed us alive;4 the flood would have engulfed us,the torrent would have swept over us,5 the…

❖ Video ❖ Audio (Message) Where Do You Find Your Bread of Life? (John 6:1-15) Mari Ikeda Today we continue in the Gospel of John, and today we will read 6:1-15. This passage records the miracle of Jesus feeding a crowd of over 5,000 people with a meager amount of food. This miracle is the only one of Jesus’ miracles that is recorded in all four Gospels. Therefore, it was probably the most well-known miracle of the early church. It could be said that the story is that significant. However, even though they record the same miracle, each of the four Gospels has a different emphasis, and this Gospel of…
