Grain for the Last Days Famine

In this weeks Church Service from our Church in Clacton-on-Sea, we explore: What happens when the true teaching of God’s Word becomes rare? In this message Pastor Stephen Clayden explains the second part of Bread of Life Community Church’s vision, showing from Amos 8 and John 6 that the last days will bring a famine for the Word of God. The sermon calls the church to stand firm in teaching the uncompromising truth of Scripture and to become a place where believers can be spiritually fed.

In this second message on the church’s vision, the sermon explains that Bread of Life Community Church has been called to teach the uncompromising and unadulterated truth of the Bible. Drawing from passages such as Amos 8:11, John 6:27, and Genesis 41, the message shows that Scripture foretells a coming famine for the Word of God in the last days. As many churches compromise or distort biblical truth, faithful believers increasingly struggle to find sound teaching. Using the example of Joseph storing grain in Egypt before a famine, the sermon explains that the church must act as a spiritual storehouse where the faithful remnant can be nourished with the true Word of God. The message warns against watering down Scripture, twisting its meaning, or selectively ignoring difficult truths. Instead, believers are called to uphold the full counsel of God, teaching the whole Bible faithfully and without compromise. By remaining united under this vision, the church seeks to raise up teachers, prepare disciples, and provide spiritual nourishment for those seeking truth during a time of increasing spiritual famine.

This sermon continues the church’s vision series by emphasising the responsibility of believers to preserve and teach the full truth of God’s Word. Pastor Stephen Clayden warns that the last days will be marked by a growing scarcity of faithful biblical teaching, and challenges the church to stand as a source of spiritual nourishment for the faithful remnant.
