Unexpected Provision: Chapter 6 (UNEXPECTED — The Book of John)

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 6 (John 6:1-14 & 16-21; Mark 6:35-37, 42 & 52; Ephesians 3:20)

 

If you follow Jesus, you’ll discover that He has the answers to everything. The disciples were learning this as they walked with Him. Jesus didn’t just want them to know who He was—He wanted them to trust Him.

Trusting is easy when everything makes sense and your needs are met. But what about when the situation feels impossible? Do you still trust God when nothing adds up?

Sometimes, those moments of need are actually a set-up—for God to show that He always has a plan, and He always provides.

 

Series description:

Have you ever experienced something that completely threw you off because it was so different from what you expected?

When we read the Gospels, it's easy to wonder why so many people rejected Jesus. Why didn’t they recognize Him as the Messiah and worship Him?

The truth is—everything about Jesus was unexpected. From the way He entered the world—born to poor parents and laid in a manger—to the way He loved and forgave sinners, outcasts, and even enemies.

The Gospel of John is especially unique because it highlights the surprising, counter-cultural things Jesus said and did. It shows us a Savior who pursued personal relationships with the most unlikely people.

Through John’s account, we’re invited to take a journey and experience the unexpected grace and love of Jesus—a love that still transforms lives today.
