Cannibalism?
by David O. Bales
John 6:56-69
“What’s with Rufus?” Longinus asked. “Makes sense he wants to dash to the village every moment he’s off duty, but when I ask him if he wants to go trolling the streets with me, he says ‘no.’ He always used to.”

“You have the words of eternal life.” (v. 68b)
Good morning girls and boys,
Welcome. It's awesome to talk to you this morning. How are you? (children respond)
I have a question for you. Does your teacher ever teach something that is hard to understand? Are you sometimes puzzled or bewildered by something your teacher said?
Have you ever wondered about hard things like what electricity is and how it works? Or gravity? Or the universe? Or algebra? (children answer)

Invitation to Confession:
Jesus, sometimes we find it difficult to understand the Bible.
Lord, have mercy.
