Feeling happy? Feeling satisfied? Both seem out of reach for many - Jesus feeds 5000 people and makes a very big claim. A claim, that if true, would nourish people at the core of their being.

Whilst most of Jesus' encounters involved face to face interactions leading to transformed lives this encounter has some interesting twists. The healing of the Centurion's servant will surprise, challenge and inspire you!

Lk 4:13-30. Jesus moves from the Judean wilderness to the region of Galilee. Ends up in his hometown, Nazareth and delivers the sermon that would set the course for the rest of his earthly life. The Luke 4 mandate is for all who receive God's Spirit whatever their gifting, personality and occupation.
