    This miracle was not a cool trick to show his disciples, but with a specific purpose, like the others, to reveal himself to the disciples. This miracle was about walking on the water.

    Background to passage: Since the end of chapter four, Jesus has been demonstrating his person and character through multiple miracles. He calmed a storm, cast out a demon, healed the sick, raised a little girl from the dead. Now, having fed the 5000+, Jesus sends them away and sends the disciples ...read more

    Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

    What do you think of when you hear the word, UNSTOPPABLE? A couple of years ago, a popular business magazine came out with an article called 30 Behaviors of Unstoppable People. Is that even possible? Are there any truly unstoppable people in the world? I have known some people who thought they ...read more
