I pray you have been reflecting upon the passage from John. This is the first of seven “I am” statements from Jesus from our fourth Gospel. Time and again our fourth Gospel we call John reminds us about the “signs” of Jesus. Not miracles…but signs. Miracles are some act or circumstances that operate outside of what is normally possible. Jesus is the bread of life Sunday School lesson. It exists not for itself, but for the thing it points to. Jesus does eight signs in John. Jesus gives seven “I am” statements which point to his identity. The sign isn’t about the sign itself, but something about Jesus that it points to. So often Jesus has to go ahead and tell us what it is…BUT, by the end of the writing, you come across the 8th sign and it isn’t even labeled as a sign. We’re supposed to just see it. Anyway, our passage is the first saying after one of the signs of Jesus—the feeding of the 5,000 (the only miracle/sign found in all 4 Gospels) People follow Jesus seeking more bread, but it’s really about more than the bread even for them. They want to know WHO and WHAT he is. They are hoping he is the great promised anointed king. Our word for this is Messiah which is translated Christ in Greek. Jesus IS a king, but not the kind of king they are looking for. They are so sure of what they are looking for that they miss seeing it when it stands in front of them because they had different expectations which blind them from seeing the real deal in Jesus. But Jesus spells it out anyway. I am the bread of life — that which comes from God to give life to the world. Whoever comes to Jesus will no longer be hungry, but don’t come to him seeking bread. Jesus is so funny. I am the bread, but not the bread you seek, but…actually…the bread you do seek just not in the way you are seeking or expecting it. ________________ Why do you follow Jesus, friend? Why do you minister? What do you hope to gain from it all? It’s okay to gain from it. You hopefully gain a paycheck. You gain satisfaction and fulfillment. You gain the contentment and joy of living a life in service for Jesus. Keep going though: what else do you gain? I learn SO much from ministry. I have a deep and seemingly unquenchable desire to learn and grow and discover what this whole life is about. It’s not about one particular result or thing. The whole process is a part of what it offers. These people following Jesus are so focused on their own stuff that they miss what is right in front of them. The truth is, they’ll need to follow him for a while before they start to understand what and who he really is. They will need to follow him for a while before they are able to let go of their own preconceived notions and expectations. It’s only after a while that we start to catch a glimpse of something beyond our wildest imaginations. I think that’s why we get a lifetime of faith—because it takes a while. If those people hadn’t been so blinded and in such a hurry that day, they might have been able to actually hear what Jesus said. They might have been able to actually understand enough to follow and see what came next. . May we slow down and look enough to begin to understand…to follow…and be eager to see just what happens next in this beautiful life of faith and service to Jesus Christ.

John 6:25-35 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 94: Jesus tells the people he is "the bread of life" and that this bread is not like other bread, it will not cease to offer sustenance.
When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us, then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Luke 21:5-19 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 92: Jesus foretells of the destruction of the Temple along with the difficult days ahead for people who follow in his way of peace and justice for God.
When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.”
They asked him, “Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?” And he said, “Beware that you are not led astray, for many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not go after them.
“When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; there will be great earthquakes and in various places famines and plagues, and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
“But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. This will give you an opportunity to testify. So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance, for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and siblings, by relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.

Genesis 31 REFLECTION "What is your name?" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 90: We are made to be who we are, but we spend so much time trying to be something/someone else. Let's be ourselves & engage God.
Jacob wrestles God: what a story!
I often jokingly refer to Jacob as my spirit animal due to this exact story.
He wrestles a man…who turns out to be God.
He beats God in a wrestling match.
The sun is about to rise meaning Jacob is about to gaze fully upon God’s face which is a threat to Jacob—he could die.
God demands to be let go…but Jacob will not until he is blessed.
Jacob DEMANDS blessing from God…and gets it.
That’s not the part I identify with, but it’s a great part in the story.
The part I identify with is when God asks, “What is your name?”
This isn’t the first time Jacob’s identity has been requested of him. At the beginning of his story he is standing before his dad, Isaac, trying to steal his brother’s blessing—Esau was the firstborn and so the birthright belonged to him even though Jacob was his twin.
Isaac can’t see and asks who is standing before him.
“It’s Esau,” Jacob says.
Jacob means “swindler” or, literally, “Heal-grabber”
He swindles his brother’s birthright from his father with a lie.
He then flees and spends years outside of the land away from all he’s ever known.
But then it’s time to come back.
He arrives across the border to his homeland and sends all of his belongings and family across first as a sign of peace to his brother.
He’s alone…and he wrestles God…and he is asked again, “What is your name?”
Jacob, for the first time in the story, doesn’t try to swindle.
He says, “Jacob.”
He then gets a new name, Israel, and receives a blessing.
He also gets a limp, because an encounter with God will always change things in your life.
God had made the divine presence known when Jacob had initially set out on the run.
He saw the stairway at Bethel and knew God was in that place.
But he didn’t engage this God in any way.
He left.
It’s as if God was waiting for him to engage.
It’s as if God was waiting for him to stop trying to swindle or be someone who he is not.
At Peniel Jacob is finally ready to be who he is…and he gives his name.
It’s then that God blesses him and the promise given to Jacob’s grandfather long ago can now proceed.
God needed Jacob to be who he was to then be able to engage God and walk the path prepared for him.
___________
There are many days, especially as a minister, where we are so busy trying to be someone else that we forget to be who we are.
You may see another minister or leader and try to emulate them.
You try to achieve what they have done…
you try to mirror their actions…
become what they are…
And, so often, God is there waiting for us to give up this kind of pursuit…because we were made to be who we are…not someone else.
We can only truly engage God in the path of our lives and journey of our faith when we’re ready to stop trying to be anyone else but who God made us to be.
So…my friends… “What’s your name?”
Are you ready to be free of all the “stuff” you have accumulated to show your success and status?
Are you ready to engage God?
Are you ready to be you?
Because God made you YOU…and called YOU to be in ministry for Jesus Christ.
Trust God’s leading.
Trust you are everything you need to be for the calling God has for you today.
And be blessed, my friends!

Genesis 31:22-31 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 89: We read the story of Jacob wrestling with God. Where is the Spirit leading you through hearing and reflecting upon this passage?
The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans and have prevailed.” Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, yet my life is preserved.” The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

Genesis 37:2b-8 REFLECTION - "What kind of dream is this?" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 88: We can learn a great deal from Joseph; in this particular passage, it's to be more tactful with people.
Oh, Joseph… The last stories of Genesis feature Joseph and the process by which Israel ended up in Egypt to prepare the main scene and the main story of the Hebrew Scriptures—the Exodus In the story of Joseph we have a slew of events with a myriad of emotions and decisions that we can uplift as an example of both great and terrible decisions. Today’s is not a great decision. Joseph has a dream — now…the first dream makes it clear that Joseph thinks more highly of himself. If we just jump into this story for what it features and presents without questioning it or comparing it to our own theology…then we take dreams as a way God communicates and reveals things to us. God’s dream for Joseph is him standing over his brothers. This doesn’t sit well with the brothers—go figure! So then Joseph has another dream which is only going to aggravate his brothers further…and HE TELLS THEM! It’s no wonder they hated Joseph. It’s no wonder their anger was stoked to the point where they did some terrible things to him Yes! And God gives us vision about what the ministry can do or become. God might even give you a grand vision of the fruit…whether it’s more students participating or their faith discovering a new level of understanding or commitment…or maybe that the people of your church will start to take the ministry you do and the students for whom you do it more seriously. Good dreams, for sure. God gives us grand visions. The Holy Spirit stirs our hearts to be passionate and take wonderful risks for our faith and programming. Jesus leads us through the Spirit as well as our Scripture and Word. Sometimes…many times, if we’re honest, we come to learn things that others around us may not understand. I mean, if you are investing so much time and energy into learning and growing in your faith…or in getting an education about ministry, the church, and the Bible…then you are going to know some stuff. You’ll also realize that other people—adults, leaders, colleagues, etc.—don’t know some stuff that maybe they really should know, right? It happens. There are times that we realize what we’re seeing or hearing is just not right. So…the temptation is to just blurt it out and let people know where they’re getting it wrong. Does this ever go well? If you present a vision for the ministry that you KNOW is the right step, but people don’t quite get what you’re trying to do or say…or they get it but don’t agree for whatever reason…we have a choice. We can just assert ourselves and speak the truth with no tact… or we can exercise tact and speak the truth gently in ways people can start to buy-in and understand. Or maybe we present our idea very invitational-ly rather than, “This is how it needs to be done” kind of way. What if Joseph had been a bit wiser and more mature with his presentation of his dreams? What if his goal was to involve his brothers in God’s plan in a way that didn’t make him look like an arrogant jerk? This is a great story with some great lessons. When we have a dream for the Kingdom which involves our ministry, ask yourself from the perspective of others, “What kind of dream is this?” Is it a dream that is an invitation? Is it a dream that is a demand? Is it YOUR dream…or will you find a way to make it OUR dream? God gave us brains for a reason. Jesus instructed us to be shrewd and innocent all at once. Let’s learn from Joseph about how NOT to do it… and let’s continue to reflect and pray for the days ahead and all of the beautiful dreams that God is going to bring to fruition in and through your work as a minister for Jesus Christ.

Genesis 37:2b-8 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 87: We turn to the story of Joseph to learn and grow through the story of his decisions, emotions, and adventures.
Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; he was a helper to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives, and Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children because he was the son of his old age, and he made him an ornamented robe., But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.
Once Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. He said to them, “Listen to this dream that I dreamed. There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright; then your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.” His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Are you indeed to have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more because of his dreams and his words.

Luke 19:1-10 REFLECTION - "He ran ahead and climbed..." Kids Ministry Coffee Break 86: This story reminds us of both our calling to pursue Jesus as well as our role to be ready to receive Zacchaeus.

Luke 19:1-10 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 85: We reflect upon a very popular story with hope that the Holy Spirit speaks to us in a new way. Let's spend time reading and reflecting together.
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”

2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 REFLECTION "Poured Out" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 83: Paul encourages us to endure and live a life poured out for God. Being poured out is worth reflecting upon further.
Poured out — what an image!
We are not as familiar with this image as Timothy would have been.
We have seen scenes in music or movies where someone honors another person, almost always someone who has died, by pouring out a drink onto the ground in their honor.
It’s something like that.
A common image Paul uses for his writings involves temple worship in the more gentile regions. Often times there was the pouring out of a libation to the god being worshiped.
It’s a way of uplifting honor—which was a huge part of the culture.
Paul is viewing himself as a life lived in honor of God.
He is being poured out — what he does, says, and is all points to God with honor.
It’s quite a statement.
Would you sum up your life in this way?
Maybe a chunk of your life, right?
Maybe a significant chunk at that…but your whole life?
It’s common in our culture to compartmentalize our faith from other aspects of our lives.
It’s been more and more common over the last 70 years to marry our national culture to our faith to the point where we no longer distinguish them.
But…we still clock-in to our faith.
When we get home or around friends we feel the opportunity to “take off the mantle of ministry,” which is a healthy thing to do. Be a spouse when you are home. Be a parent. Be a child to your parents. Be a friend to your inner-circle.
But sometimes we feel we can take off the mantle of faith.
Paul would encourage us to NEVER do this.
Faith doesn’t have to be so wrapped up in dogma and symbols and rituals, but it runs deeper in our hearts than all of that stuff.
We want to have a hope…like Paul did.
No matter what we are facing, Paul wants us to endure.
The crown image he offers has nothing to do with a golden crown of honor or power.
Rather, the word refers to the crown you win by finishing a race in that day. Furthermore, when you see the word “conquer” in our new testament, it’s always referring to finishing a race—not winning a war.
Conquering never refers to exerting power or dominance, but by enduring and finishing the race not allowing anything to get you off track.
Paul encouraged Timothy and encourages us to continue to grow in our faith so that we can endure whatever comes…that our lives can be poured out in honor to God.
Pouring ourselves out does not mean always giving of yourselves in an outflowing of energy and time.
Pouring ourselves out for God can mean finding rest, embracing joy and time with friends and family, finding good balance…but also giving our hearts in ministry to others.
My prayer for you is that you are poured out for God without totally exhausting yourself.
Empty yourself of ego, power, status, and honor…but make sure you let the grace and love of God fill you back up. Make sure you are honoring your mind, your body, and your soul by receiving the good things life has to offer.
Be poured out, my friends.
Endure and finish the race.
And let the joy you find in doing so be a reflection of light to others that they can’t help themselves but to join in.
Thank you for serving Jesus Christ, my siblings.
May that service continue to bring you grace and peace.

2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 READING Kids Ministry Coffee Break 82: We take time to breathe and center ourselves on the reading of scripture to all the Holy Spirit to stir our hearts so that we may respond.
As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
At my first defense no one came to my support, but all deserted me. May it not be counted against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 REFLECTION - "Inspired" Kids Ministry Coffee Break 81: We are a part of what God is doing to instruct people for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
This week’s passage is loaded with opportunities for discussion.
Paul is specifically referring to the Old Testament passages in his instruction to Timothy. The only scripture that existed when he wrote this was the Old Testament — and although Jesus had renewed and redeemed everything, Paul wants his good Jewish Christian protege Timothy to know that the Scriptures have a great deal of use in helping people be instructed for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Scripture instructs, but it’s faith in Jesus Christ that brings salvation.
Inspired is also a great source of conversation.
Inspired means “God-breathed.”
The Scriptures are God-breathed.
The word for breath is the same word for spirit.
You know what else is God-breathed and blessed with the work of the Holy Spirit?
You and I, friend.
All human beings receive the breath of God—the life that goes beyond our physical breath.
So…what exactly is Paul saying here?
Well…like every single act God does in all of the Bible (except the very first acts), it involves human beings.
It was Moses who had to physically say and do things as the way God instructed him so that miracles and liberation could occur…
It was prophets bringing physical voice to the people to bring the Word of God to light for them.
It was through rulers and judges like David, Gideon, and Deborah that God acted.
God came to us as Word revealed through physical flesh in Jesus.
So…it should’t surprise us that God uses physical writings by physical people to instruct us in faith in Jesus Christ.
God takes the physical…and gives it divine spirit and breath to bring an entirely new and powerful life to it.
And…here you are
Physical…
Devoted…
Called…
Empowered…
Inspired…
You are the ones God has called to do something new and faithful in the lives of those to whom you minister.
You are an active, living, breathing, thinking, embodied source of God-spirited, God-breathed life which instructs people for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
It’s a high and holy calling, my friends.
Don’t take it lightly…
We are to be attentive to the work of the Spirit through the inked words on the pages of our Scripture.
We are to continue our training every single day trusting that we have what we need for today knowing full well that we will learn more tomorrow and the next day…
In a year from now we’ll know so much more.
In 5 years…even more.
This is exciting!! and it is ongoing.
This life of ministry is a living thing which breathes and continues to be inspired.
Take it seriously, but also take it joyfully.
God has called YOU.
Trust that God will work all things for good through you—you God-breathed inspired source of goodness, you!
