Jesus Feeds The 5,000

South Shore Community Church

In this sermon, we explore the familiar yet pivotal miracle of Jesus feeding the 5000, a story so significant it is included in all four Gospels. The narrative unfolds as Jesus and His disciples encounter a massive crowd after a period of intense ministry and personal challenges, including the grief of losing John the Baptist. Jesus uses this moment to test His disciples' faith, asking where they could buy bread for the crowd. The disciples, Philip and Andrew, are highlighted for their human responses to the seemingly impossible situation, revealing their limitations in understanding Jesus' divine capability. The sermon challenges us to consider our own impossible situations and how we might underestimate what God can do with our limited resources.
