January 17, 2022 17:00 - 55 minutes - 52.1 MBI AM the Only Bread of Life At the end of John 6, we see Jesus make, what some could consider, the greatest leadership mistake of His ministry. Just the day before, Jesus had over 10,000 Jews cheering for Him to be King. On the next day, Jesus delivered His most offensive message that turned the majority of them away. This doesn't seem to be the best choice when it comes to starting a movement. Or was it? Jesus made a very exclusive claim. I AM your only source of satisfaction. I AM...
