In this powerful sermon from John chapter 6, Pastor Fortunato exposes one of the most dangerous traps in Christianity: seeking Jesus for what He can give you instead of who He is. After the miraculous feeding of the 5000, the crowd crossed the Sea of Galilee desperately searching for Jesus—but were they really seeking Him, or just another free meal? This convicting message from Pilgrim Baptist Church challenges every believer to examine their heart. Are you going through the motions of religion, or do you have a genuine relationship with Christ? Do you want the Master, or just the meals He provides? Pastor Fortunato unpacks the biblical truth that fame fades, worldly accomplishments don't matter in eternity, and we are not "self-righting boats"—we desperately need the Captain of our salvation to transform us. Drawing from the incredible survival story of Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, this sermon illustrates what true sacrifice and endurance look like. While Shackleton led 28 men through 497 days of impossible conditions in -20 degree weather, many Christians struggle to sacrifice one hour a week or have one uncomfortable conversation about Jesus. This powerful parallel will challenge you to stop chasing temporary things and start pursuing eternal life. In this biblical teaching, you'll discover: ✝️ Why seeking Jesus for material blessings misses the gospel message entirely ✝️ The difference between dead religion and life-giving relationship with Christ ✝️ How to examine your heart's true motives in following Jesus ✝️ Why persistence in seeking doesn't always mean you're finding the real Jesus ✝️ The call to labor for eternal things instead of what perishes
