They Said They Had Nothing
The feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels, yet its familiarity can lead us to miss its deeper meaning. In this sermon, we slow down and take a closer look at what this well-known story reveals about the heart of Jesus. We explore why Jesus was in a deserted place to begin with, what it means that he was moved with compassion, and how this miracle points to a God who draws near in our need, refuses easy solutions, and provides with breathtaking abundance. Whether you have heard this story a hundred times or are encountering it fresh, there is something here worth sitting with.
