First Pentecostal Church of Buford FPC of Buford

Jesus describes Himself as the essential "bread of life" from which we can partake to receive eternal life with Him. Every Christian must grasp the understanding that they should nourish themselves with the sustenance He provides rather than merely satisfying worldly cravings. Despite the inherent inclination within us towards pursuits that result in death, we are presented with the opportunity to embrace the life-giving bread!

Jesus instructed His disciples to spread His gospel worldwide, with the command that they should begin in Jerusalem. This order holds significance as it was the very people in Jerusalem who had demanded His crucifixion not many days before. This directive exhibits Jesus' remarkable capacity for forgiveness and salvation, extending even to those who would be deemed the least deserving.

In ancient Israel, the people needed to remain vigilant at the sound of the trumpet or the sight of the raised standard. These signals were indispensable - even so, in the era of the church, the trumpet symbolizes the preached Word of God, while the standard signifies the embodiment of His teachings. Hence, it is essential not only to proclaim the truth for all to hear but also to exemplify it daily in our lives.
