Daily bread for the soul

In addition to creating the physical creation, God has endowed human beings with a soul as part of the spiritual creation.

The congregation pleads for their “daily bread” in the Lord’s Prayer. This is not just for physical needs, but also a plea for what is needed to sustain and grow the spiritual creation within.

In Holy Communion, we have the opportunity to receive Christ’s overcoming power, love, and joy to sustain us and help us grow into His nature. “When we eat food in the natural, it is converted and helps with growth and development. By receiving Holy Communion, the new creation within us can grow, and we can grow into the image of Jesus Christ” (CA Schneider / Hoorn, Netherlands / January 2024).
