On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson talk about the feeding of the five thousand according to Mark's gospel. We see here the purpose of the office of the ministry, which is to shepherd the people with the good news of the gospel. This text is about the preaching office, and therefore the doctrine of the church – not according to the law or politics, but according to the gospel.
