    Undoubtedly many have heard this passage of Scripture before and hopefully, many have read this story. This is the story of where Jesus feeds the multitude, the five thousand.

    What a miracle to perform. I cannot imagine trying to feed that many people. No doubt there are quite a few mothers out there that would find that a daunting task. Can you see five thousand people coming through your door, walking to the dining room, either trying to find a place to sit or going ...read more

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more
