This is our deepest need
YT Description/Post
What if the real bread you need isn't on your table but in your heart? In this message, we reflect on the purpose of the table of shewbread in the Tabernacle, and how it points to God's faithfulness to provide for His people. But there’s more: God invites us to deeper fellowship with Him. How do we move from merely receiving God's gifts to truly experiencing Him as the Bread of Life? Be inspired to rest in His provision, no matter your season of life, and find hope in His unfailing presence.
This message, based on Exodus 25:23-30, explores the significance of the table of shewbread within the Tabernacle. While the bread symbolised God's provision for Israel's physical needs, its deeper meaning lies in our need for spiritual nourishment. Through this study, we uncover how God uses physical provisions to teach us to rely on Him spiritually. Reflecting on Jesus’ teaching in John 6, we are reminded that Christ, the Bread of Life, is what we ultimately need to sustain us. Watch now to learn more about trusting God in times of need and keeping Him at the centre of your life.
