    Can I tell you this morning, it’s a stressful thing to have no money, no manpower, and no way to meet the needs in front of you. And still Jesus says to you what he said to his men so long ago, “These people are hungry. Give them something to eat.”

    TITLE: GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 6:32-44 This is one of the great miracles of the Bible. 5000 hungry men show up uninvited and then stay for supper. Imagine ordering 5000 pizzas-deep-dish, Chicago-style, of course. That would cost a pretty penny. Suppose you had to feed 5000 ...read more

    Strange Fire Leviticus 10:1-11 Introduction: Romans 15:4 tells us that “…whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” In Leviticus 10 we have a lesson about the worship of God. As ...read more

For the most part, the Tabernacle was to be used in some cases as a mobile worship center. What’s most ...read more
