What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

The sermon's main point is that through faith, prayer, and God's abundant provision, miracles can happen, as exemplified in the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand with only five loaves of bread and two fish.
Good morning, family of Christ! I hope y'all are feeling blessed today. We're about to dive into the Word of God together, and today, we're focusing on a passage from Matthew 14:13-21.
