You’re Feeding the Wrong Hunger

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the Bread of Life”?

In Week 1 of our new series, I AM, Pastor Mike Frie explores the first of the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through the miracle of feeding the 5,000, Jesus reveals that He didn’t just come to meet temporary needs — He came to become the true Bread from Heaven who satisfies the deepest hunger of the soul.

So often we:

- Try to fix everything ourselves

- Look to other people for fulfillment

- Or simply learn to live empty

But Jesus offers something greater: forgiveness, healing, wholeness, and eternal life.

In this message, we unpack:

- The meaning of “I AM” in Exodus 3:14

- Why Jesus called Himself the Bread of Life

- The connection between Passover and Jesus

- The symbolism of unleavened bread

- How Jesus fulfills prophecy through His sacrifice

- What it means to truly believe in Christ
