God's Surprising Sustenance, August 6th Worship

During the summer months we can all relate to a group of people who had gotten thirsty and hungry. Jesus suddenly produces a reviving lunch. This miraculous feeding affirms God's generous and daily provision for all our needs.  Daily, He sustains His whole creation and feeds us with what we need for body, soul, and mind. On the day Jesus fed the crowd He showed us that He understands who we are as complex creatures with a variety of needs. Today we celebrate with wonder the surprising ways in which our God cares for us in the complex circumstances and needs we face.
