The Word of God as Bread: Feeding Your Spirit Daily
This message opens a new series on the importance of the Word of God, addressing why believers who acknowledge the Bible as truth still struggle to embrace what it says about them or to seek it out consistently. Don Allen confronts modern attacks on biblical authority, including the idea that Scripture should be interpreted like other literary works and the claim that its miracles are scientifically impossible. He argues that the supernatural nature of biblical miracles does not disprove Scripture but rather reveals a supernatural God. The central teaching frames the Word of God as bread in three distinct ways: it is daily bread that God desires to give believers every single day, sustaining bread that provides spiritual strength to resist temptation and adversity, and the only true bread, rooted in the person of Jesus Christ himself, who is identified as the Word made flesh. The sermon calls believers to return to consistent, personal Bible reading as a matter of spiritual survival, not religious obligation.
