Join us for Trevor Jones' sermon:
Epiphany Tide:
Jesus: Miracles or Magic? Part 3 - Loaves and Fishes
This Epiphany Season (Epiphany Tide) we continue our look at the glory of Jesus, as his works, his miracles, and his ministry begin to come alive and the news spreads throughout the land because of the wonders Jesus is doing
We continue asking the questions:
How is glory achieved? Self acclamation?
Are miracles done by breaking the limits of creation?
Is glory achieved by rising above those limits?
Magic is for convenience, but a miracle is a moment that shows the deep love of God, meeting people's deepest needs. A miracle shows who God is, bringing His kingdom into the present moment.
How is Jesus' "glory" being shown here?
Glory is the result of paying the cost of love.
In today's sermon Trevor explores another miracle of Jesus, the miracle of the loaves and the fishes.
From the gospel of Mark:
'...They said to him, “Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” When they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.
And all ate and were filled; and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.'
As we look at today's miracle from the gospel of Mark, the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fish and feeding the 5000.
We pray that you would know the goodness of God, and the feast that he has on offer to you.
