The God Who Provides

Contributed by Roy Sommerville on Aug 3, 2011

The story of the feeding of the 5000 contains some wonderful principles that teach us much about how, when and why God provides

In mark 6:33-44, we’re going to see that God is a God who provides. We find a marvellous example of God providing food for 5000 men plus women plus children, maybe up to 20,000 people, and he provides enough for everybody to eat with just a boy’s lunch of bread and fish. This story is ...read more

Providence's Restraint Of Evil Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Sep 15, 2011

God has given us what we need for eternal life and for spiritual growth in this life.
