In this week’s Bible study, we’re looking at John 6, which contains one of the most famous stories in the Bible: Jesus feeding the 5,000. We’ll see how Jesus takes one boy’s basket of five loaves and two fishes, and uses it to feed thousands of hungry people. And throughout this episode, I’m going to point out relevant truths and practical applications for our lives.
