About this episode

Pastor Jeff Thompson discusses the miracle of feeding the 5000 in John 6, exploring the limitations of human perspective and the power of faith.

Have you ever looked at a problem and just done the math — and the math didn't work? The need was too big, the resources too small, the odds too long. So you either froze up or gave up. In John chapter 6, Jesus's disciples are staring down exactly that situation: a massive crowd, no food, no budget, and no plan. And what happens next is one of the most famous miracles in all of Scripture — but Pastor Jeff Thompson isn't just here to tell us a great story. He's here to show us what the disciples got wrong, and what we get wrong in the same ways today. Our math is too small. Our little feels too insignificant. And our view of what Jesus can do is far too narrow. We're in John 6, verses 1 through 21 — Bread, Baskets, and Boats . . . Oh, My! Let's get into it.Executive Producer: Dave PutnamSpeaker: Pastor Jeff ThompsonSound design, mixing, and editing: Bryan TrippGraphic Design: Wesley CassfordSocial Media: Bryan SpahrProducer: Sherri Smith WE INVITE YOU TO CONNECT WITH US:• Website: https://www.harvestbible.org/ WE INVITE YOU TO FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:• Instagram: @harvestbiblechapel• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/harvestbiblechapel/
