Matthew 14:13-21

Listen to Matthew 14:13-21

13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart*: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart*; give ye them to eat.

17 And they say unto him, We have here but* five loaves, and two fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

The Miracle of God's Provision Part 2

Jeff Johnson

God is wanting us to trust Him, but you may have noticed we often struggle in that area? We draw your attention to Jesus feeding thousands of people with a young boy’s lunch! Some say that’s impossible! But nothing is impossible for God. We’re learning to trust in Jesus, even as we’re hit with roadblocks or impossibilities, as we turn to Matthew chapter fourteen.

The Miracle of God's Provision Part 1

Jeff Johnson

Today we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Matthew chapter fourteen. Many people today look at the claims of the Bible and consider them to be mythological fairy-tails. They wonder how could Jonah be swallowed by a big fish and live to tell about it, or how could Jesus feed close to 15 thousand people with five loaves and two fish! We can be sure that what God says is real and true, even if it defies human logic.

We open up Matthew’s gospel to chapter fourteen and the very famous story of feeding the five thousand.

Matthew 14:13-21 Part 1

Pastor Thom Keller

“Our doubts,” somebody said “doesn’t necessarily prove unbelief. It may just be a sign we are thinking.” Of course our problem is we put our own human limitations in our calculations. But if we’re talking about God then all things are possible. We take you to Matthew’s gospel chapter fourteen and the account of the feeding of the five thousand with five loves and two fish.

Impossible? Part 1

James Kaddis

Many people today look at the claims of the Bible and consider them to be mythological fairy-tails. They wonder how could Jonah be swallowed by a big fish and live to tell about it, or how could Jesus feed close to 40 thousand people with five loaves and two fish!
