Four messages on Jesus as the Bread of Life. "Then what is the work of God? The work of God is to change people. That is what God is here for. That is what he sent the Lord for---to change people. God's work is to take an impatient aggressive businessman who is out only to make money for his own purposes and to advance his own style of living, and change him into a compassionate, patient man who learns how to think of others and to work for their good as well as his own. Now that takes power. The work of God is to take a shrewish, mean-tempered woman who yells at her kids and screams at her husband, and turn her into a patient, loving wife who learns how to handle her husband and family in love. That is the work of God. Do you know that the nations of this earth have been laboring for centuries to find a power that can do those simple things? No power has been found that can do these things. All our vast, expensive educational systems cannot do them. We have ample testimony to that, haven't we? But God, at work in a human being, can change him, make him new and fresh and different, and help him to act in ways that ordinarily he would not act. That is the work of God."
Enter multiple search parameters to narrow the list to sermons matching all of them. For example, choose

Click on the Clear Filters button to see the whole list again. If you are getting no results, make sure that you don’t have a filter parameter that you did not intend.
Click on a column title to sort the list by that column. Click a second time to reverse the sort order. By default the list is ordered from newest to oldest (reverse chronological).
If a selection list (drop down menu of Book/Chapter/Speaker/Sermon Series) extends below the sermon list and overlaps these tips it will not function correctly: Clear Filters to reset the list so you can make your selection. This is a bug in the software that we hope can be fixed in the future.
The Book filter will not find every sermon that touches on a particular book
it cannot find sermons where the book name does not appear in the Scripture References column, e.g. filtering on Luke does not find a sermon with reference Matthew – Revelation.
Scripture References in the catalog are not complete for all sermons for various reasons
If you are exploring the library by Date, note that the date selector has unfortunate limitations:
You must select both specific from and to dates for the filter to work. Just typing in a year in one field, for example, will not narrow the list to that year.
In the calendar browser that pops up, you can click on the month/year at the top to move by larger periods of time. For example, if January, 2019 is displayed and you click on it you can choose months in 2019, click again and you can navigate through years.
Typed in dates must be in the format shown in the sermon list: 20 Jan 2019. Other formats such as 1/20/19 do not work.
Typed in dates will sometimes be misinterpreted and replaced: try editing the replacement text into your desired date rather than clearing the field and starting over.
The Search field only searches the catalog list of sermons displayed on this page. Unfortunately we do not have the capability to search the text of sermons at this time.
