Text: Matt. 14:13-21 & 15:29-39

 

Have you ever felt like you have plenty …more than enough to go around? It’s a great feeling that most of us rarely experience. And for most of us, it is this place

where reality meets lack that our faith is grown. He took the fish and loaves, blessed it, and gave it to the disciples. I would imagine them wondering what they

are supposed to do with this hunk of bread and piece of fish! What will you do with what you have? What about what you don’t have?

 

“Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”” (Matthew 14:16, NIV)

​

“Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the

people.” (Matthew 15:36, NIV)

​

Big Idea: Jesus feeds those who come to be fed by faith.
