The Son of Man // The Lesson of the Loaves [Luke 9:1-17] (Dan Pettersen)

About this episode

Dan Pettersen discusses the lesson of trusting God through the story of Jesus feeding the multitude.

Dan Pettersen shows how one boy’s small lunch became a powerful lesson in trusting a God who delights in doing the impossible. Dan looks at Jesus’ feeding of the multitude and the leadership lessons woven through this remarkable message. As we face challenges that seem beyond our abilities, we are reminded not to measure circumstances by our own resources but by God’s power. Through the examples of the disciples, we see that what appears insignificant in our hands can become more than enough when surrendered to Christ. Dan encourages us to trust God in impossible situations, recognising that He often uses our limitations to deepen our faith, strengthen our hope, and reveal His provision, bringing not only what is needed but an increase beyond what we expected. Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 7th of June 2026 during the 10:00 am service.
