How do you live in a world where people will oppose you and disagree with you, and even wrong you... and not become more bitter and cynical; but rather more warm, connected, hopeful and resilient?

In this passage, we consider 1) the problem (we have to admit our hunger), 2) the solution (how Jesus feeds us) and 3) the invitation to feast on Jesus and join him in mission to feed others.

In this scripture, we consider: 1) The promise that God will work all things for good, 2) The definition of what this means, and 3) The guarantee that God is indeed at work for our good, especially in our weakness and difficulties.

In today's passage, we consider that life with Jesus brings us 1) Freedom from fear, 2) Meaning in suffering and 3) Patient Hope in our difficulties.
