Why did Jesus deliberately preach the most offensive sermon imaginable to a crowd of 12,000 followers — and watch them all walk away? In John 6, Jesus built the first mega church in history, then dismantled it with a single message. What He did next reveals everything about how the church should approach ministry today.
In this sermon, Pastor Josh Claycamp walks through John 6:52–69 and examines the critical difference between people who come to Jesus to be fixed and people who come to be saved. From the Jewish taboo of consuming blood to the modern seeker-sensitive movement, this message challenges the church to return to text-driven, expository preaching that starts with what the Savior wants to say — not what the sinner thinks they need to hear.
Peter's response to Jesus in verse 68 remains the heart cry of every true disciple: "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."
