Matthew 19:10-12
The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry". Jesus replied,"Not everyone can accept this word, but only those whom it has been given.

The one who can accept this should accept it".

- letting go of everything just to serve God.

Sermon outline and notes:
Pearly:
John 6:6
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
John 6:66
From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
John 6:26
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your filled.
John 6:30-35
So they asked him, “What miraculous sign then will you give
that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written:
`He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’“
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who
has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who
gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.”
“Sir,” they said, “from now on give us this bread.”
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes
to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will
never be thirsty.
God's going to stretch your faith.God knows everything.God is smart.What is God going to test you? Is faith!!!
Physical hunger is not as scary as spiritual hunger. -> We die of physical death. But, if we die of spiritual death, that is scary! Because our spirit remain forever.
