Real Food

Day1 Weekly Program

The Rev. Scott Hoezee, director of the Center for Excellence in Preaching at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, draws his sermon "Real Food," from the declaration of Jesus that he is the living bread from heaven found in John 6:51-58. Hoezee explores what would have been a shocking statement to those surrounding Jesus. “A lot of the time the sacrament has about all the wonder of making out a grocery list,” he says. “What we need is to be stretched, to be pushed out of our comfort zone, to be shaken out of our complacency so as to see again the radical nature of faith and of the union with Christ it makes possible by the grace of God.”
