Preaching Provision
Jesus was tempted to provide for himself. You are not immune from providing for the hunger you have in your soul.
And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”
Luke 4:4
Everyone listening to you preach has tried to provide for their own soul with the created order.
And it leads to death inside their soul. An emptiness they cannot put their finger on.
Religious people will fill their soul with religion. Church attendance. Rules. Right living. A growing ministry.
Just because they provide for their soul with churchy things, does not mean their soul is unsatisfied.
Lead them to realize their souls cannot live on bread…possessions, status, hungers…alone.
Let them see the example of your life. Where you try to provide for your own soul. How you struggle to have faith in your Life is not fueled on bread alone.
