“What difference does it make?” We have all asked that question at some point. It’s easy for us to think about what we lack rather than what we have. However, this mindset is a kindness killer, causing us to miss out on opportunities for God to work through us and within us.

In this week’s sermon, we explore the passage leading up to Jesus’ miracle of feeding the 5,000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish (Mark 6:30-38). Although the disciples focused on the fact that they didn’t have enough, Jesus took what little they did have and used it to meet the needs of the crowd. As followers of Christ, we are called to be “5 + 2” people—giving whatever we have to God and allowing Him to use it to cultivate kindness both in us and around us.
