Jesus says chomp on this — and his own disciples walk. John 6:41–60 on three objections we all raise, and the strange Greek word that answers every one of them.
Work Hard for the Free Gift
Work for the food he then hands you as a gift. John 6:25–40 on the paradox at the heart of grace — and the prayer to carry into your week.

Have it your way — the crowd wanted Jesus on those terms, and he walked away up a mountain. John 6:1–26 on the king who refuses to be your personal king.
