Our Daily Bread
When Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” he invited us into a life of radical trust, shared provision, and daily awareness of God’s presence. This prayer, so simple yet profound, challenges us to let go of fear and hoarding, to live in the present, and to open our hearts to God’s mercies that are new every morning. This sermon reflects on how bread—ordinary and sacred—points us to God’s care for our needs, our call to seek justice for others, and the presence of Christ, the Bread of Life. ✨
