In this sermon, based on Matthew 14:13-21, Pastor Scott explores Jesus well-known miracle of the feeding of the 5,000. While his actions reveal his compassion on all people, careful exploration of the narration and surrounding context reveal that Jesus is also in the midst of mourning the death of his relative. This serves as an important reminder of the call that we share to care for one another, offering and receiving support, in the midst of the difficulties of life.
