SPEAKER: Pastor Russel Moldovan

Pastor Moldovan’s sermon continues the series on the Lord’s Prayer by focusing on the fourth petition: “Give us this day our daily bread.” He explains that Jesus’ prayer is intentionally layered—speaking both of physical provision and spiritual nourishment. Drawing from Exodus 16, he highlights God’s daily gift of manna to Israel, teaching them not to hoard, fear, or worry about tomorrow, but to trust God for each day’s needs. Pastor Moldovan connects this truth to the present, reminding believers that God still supplies food, shelter, resources, and strength day by day. He urges the congregation not to let increasing possessions create increasing anxiety, but rather to trust God boldly, be generous, and remember that Christ is returning—freeing us from fear about the future.The sermon then shifts to spiritual bread, which is found in the Word of God and ultimately in Jesus Himself, the Bread of Life. Pastor Moldovan explains that Scripture nourishes the soul by answering life’s deepest questions and revealing God’s love and salvation through Christ. Jesus’ teaching in John 6 and His institution of the Lord’s Supper show that eternal life and spiritual sustenance come from Him alone. The sermon concludes by linking physical and spiritual provision to the mission of the church: Jesus ministered through both words and deeds, and the church must do the same. Acts of compassion open doors for the gospel. The congregation’s giving—over $100,000 to missions—helps spread this “daily bread” worldwide. A video from Uganda illustrates believers who trust God daily amid hardship, inspiring the congregation to embrace gratitude, simplicity, and the sufficiency of Jesus. The service ends with an invitation for worshippers to write thank-you notes to Christ as an act of Thanksgiving praise.
