Prairie Bible Church Messages
When Followers Leave | John 6:60-71
The Holy Spirit clearly says that in the last days some will leave the faith (1 Tim. 4:1). Tragically, there are many in church who have the appearance of being a follower, yet do not truly belong to Jesus. After one of Jesus’ most difficult teachings, “many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.” When many leave, Jesus asks us what he asked the Twelve, "You don’t want to go away too, do you?”
Take-Home Message: Stay.
Stay when the Word challenges you (60-62).
§ Why do followers leave?
