Message by Pastor David Whitmore for August 6: What Are You Hungry For?
This week I talk about a story that is found in all four of the gospels. I am going to be in Matthew the 14Th chapter vs 13-21. This is the amazing story of Jesus feeding over 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. To get the real meaning of this lesson you have to look beyond the physical need to be fed and see what the real lesson is for us. The disciples wanted to send the people away because they were tired and hungry themselves and they could not see any way to feed these people. How often do we just want to give up because we are tired or frustrated with people and we just don’t see a way to help them? There is a lesson to be learned here. Bring all you have and Jesus will make it more than enough!
