In anticipation of the Christmas season of feasting, this four-week series, Hunger & Thirst, examines the concept of food in relationship to the Christian walk. The Bible teaches us to hunger after the things of God and taste and see that God is good. Through examining key texts, we can see the relationship between physical nourishment and spiritual nourishment. Jesus is the Bread of Life, and we partake with others in Christian community and should be aware of false teaching (fake food) that provide no growth or nourishment.
Just like there is junk food and fake food that provide little nourishment, so there are false gospels that will not allow believers to grow. We need to strive to avoid junk food theology and receive nourishment through the Word of Christ.
