The Most Often Worked Miracle

Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 2, 2006

In feeding the 5,000, Jesus sets a pattern for his disciples’ future ministry.

Feeding the 5,000 Jesus’ miracles are commonly understood to prove his divinity.

Follow Me 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more
