The Bread of Life...Baking Mother June’s Banana Bread

Please check out my first Youtube video of “The Flourishing Table”.
Bella in the Kitchen teaching from the book of John sharing her mother’s banana bread recipe.
Today we will be looking at the verses from John 6:9, 6:11-13, 6:33. It is in these verses that Jesus, “The Bread of Life” brings hope and encouragement to those in need. May we be encouraged through His “Good Word” and provide peace to others in this season of uncertainty. I would be so blessed to have you follow me on Instagram, FB and let me know what you think.
May the Lord’s hope & peace overflow in your hearts. Blessings, Bella
